sarcoidosis
Does MRI give a clearer image of the pathology?
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.
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.
What does dark fluid mean in a MRI of the brain?
my MRI of my brain says there is dark fluid what does this mean
What is a motion artifact on a MRI mean?
An artifact is any feature which appears on the image which is not present on the original object. These can be caused by things such as machine calibration, blood flow, etc.
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.

Is MRI used for imaging hard tissues?
No, an MRI is used to image soft tissues such as ligament and muscles. These do not show up on an X-ray which looks at hard tissues such as bone.
What does radio frequency shielding do for mri's magnetic field?
RF Shielding actually has little to do with the magnetic field generated by an MRI Scanner. The purpose of The RF Shielding installed in an MRI exam room is to prevent radio frequency interference from entering into the MRI Scanner and causing image quality degradation.
