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 == ==
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
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.
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 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
How do cat scans use electromagnets?
CAT Scan does not use electromagnets, its MRI (Magnetic Resonance Imaging) which uses Electromagnets to produce images of the patient's body.
When could you need an MRI scan Maybe a test for Cancer?
The use of MRI for cancer screening can be used for all cancer types, here in the UK the test is limited by cost. MRI is often considered the safer option for detection, as it doesn't rely on radiation beams. As I work in the UK we tend to use MRI for the following cancers; brain, primary bone cancer, soft tissue cancer, and spinal cord tumours. One of the main reasons for MRI is not only location but also depth of the cancerous growth. So we can measure the amount of soft tissue that surrounds the cancer, required for safer and more effective radiotherapy, it helps preserve healthy tissue. MRI can be used to 'stage' the cancer and monitor the spread or growth rate, or if the tumour has developed a blood supply, which could prevent surgical intervention.
