MRI Scanners are able to image soft tissues with much more detail than other imaging options. The MRI is able to differentiate between different types of tissue such as fat, muscle, tendon, nerve, abscess, water and blood. Since most pathologies consist of soft tissues, the MRI does give a better image most of the time.
What else can I help you with?
If you have tendonitis can a MRI find it?
Yes, it can. MRI is suitable to find any soft tissue pathology (tendon included)
Which method use to beam magnetic waves at the heart to produce an image and obtain information about heart and large vessel pathology?
Cardiac MRI Angiography is where you get injected with dye to view the heart and blood vessels.
Is contrast always used for MRI of spine?
No, usually contrast agents are not used for MRI of the spine. The most frequent pathology when an spine MRI is requested si discal hernia (lombosciatic, disc protrusion). Then another pathology is searched and/or discovered (tumors, bone lesions), than contrast agent is required for a correct diagnosis.
Will a lumbar mri also image the prostate?
no
Does an xray show all hip pathology?
X ray does not show all the pathology. In that case your physician may advise CAT scanning or MRI to you. Your doctor is the best judge for you.
What is signal intensity with the medial meniscus?
Signal intensity refers to the brightness of an image on a magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) scan. When evaluating the medial meniscus, signal intensity can help identify abnormalities such as tears or degeneration. Changes in signal intensity of the medial meniscus can indicate injury or pathology.
What is MRI technician training?
To become MRI Technologist you should be certified with a bachelors degree or the associate degree in any field provided by the college but as you have opted to become MRI Tech it is helpful if the degree is on the subjects which helps in understand the mechanism of the MRI Instrument, so the topics which are advisable are biology, anatomy, health, health physics, pathology etc.
How is an MRI scan obtained What kind of atom is the MRI scanner targeting to get an image?
An MRI scan is obtained by using radio frequency waves (similiar to FM radio waves) to energize Hydrogen atoms in fat and water. When you add energy to the Hydrogen atoms you can create a signal that can be then turned into an image.
Can an x-ray image the discs in spine?
No. Only the spaces where the disks are. And MRI or CT scan can actually image the disk itself.
How are contrast media used to produce an image?
Contrast media contain substances that attenuate X-rays and help highlight specific structures in the body. When injected or ingested, contrast media enhance the visibility of blood vessels, organs, or tissues on imaging studies such as CT scans or MRI scans. This improved contrast allows healthcare providers to obtain a clearer image for diagnostic purposes.
Is a cat scan or an mri more accurate at detecting brain aneurysms?
A CT Scan can image an aneurysm without a contrast injection even though it does better with a contrast agent. An MRI will require an contrast agent or an MRI/MRA.
Can you see a tampon on an MRI image?
Yes, a tampon can be seen on an MRI image, but its visibility depends on the type of materials used in the tampon. Tampons typically contain absorbent materials like cotton or rayon, which may not be easily distinguishable on MRI due to their similar signal characteristics to surrounding tissues. However, if the tampon contains any plastic components or applicators, those parts may appear more clearly on the MRI.
