What else can I help you with?
Why is an MRI better than a mammogram?
it produces better images of soft tissues - apex
If someone has more than one MRI scan would you use MRIs or MRI's?
MRIs == ==
What technique involves the use of magnetic fields and radio waves to produce images of the brains soft tissue?
MRI - Magnetic Resonance Imaging
Can an MRI scan miss what a CT scan would show?
A CT scan is a computer-assembled set of X-rays taken from different vantage points. The computer can create 3D models of whatever it images, but the nature of X-ray imaging is that it is more effective for denser tissues (bone), than soft-tissues (organs or blood). There are new CT techniques that can help image organs (the heart is of particular interest), but MRI is generally capable of imaging soft tissues with greater detail. MRI is more frequently used for neurological imaging, and can be used to do chemical analysis of tissues (spectroscopy) inside your body non-invasively. Because they use very different means to image, both CT and MRI can 'miss' things that would better show up on the other modality.
Could you use MRI technology to cut deaths from strokes?
Yes, because a MRI scan is a very strong scan and can see if there is anything wrong with you,if you spot it before then yes,you can. x
How many MRI's annually in US?
In the United States, approximately 30 million MRI scans are performed each year. This number has been steadily increasing due to advancements in MRI technology and the growing demand for diagnostic imaging in various medical fields. The use of MRI is prevalent in assessing conditions related to the brain, spine, joints, and soft tissues.
What does an MRI scan do?
An MRI machine uses radio waves and a very, very strong magnetic field to take pictures of the soft body tissues. The radio waves and magnet align the spin of protons and these allow images to be taken.
What is a medical use of magnetism that allows a doctor to see inside your body?
it is called a mri scan
What are the advantages and disadvantages of MRI use in radiation therapy?
MRI offers several advantages in radiation therapy, including its ability to provide high-resolution, soft tissue contrast, which helps in accurately delineating tumor boundaries and surrounding organs. This enhances treatment precision and can improve patient outcomes. However, disadvantages include the longer scan times compared to CT, potential challenges in integrating MRI data with existing radiation planning systems, and issues related to the presence of metal implants in patients. Additionally, MRI is less effective for visualizing calcified tissues and air-filled structures.
What is the full form of CT scan?
CT is computed tomography and CAT scan is computed axial tomography.
How does ultrasonography differ from radiology and a CT scan?
Ultrasonography uses ultrasound waves to look at soft tissues, organs, veins and muscles (as well as babies). X-rays and CT scans use radiation to produce images.
What is the use of radio waves in medicine to produce pictures of tissues in the human body called?
Magnetic Resonance Imaging or MRI
