If you have tendonitis can a MRI find it?
Yes, it can. MRI is suitable to find any soft tissue pathology (tendon included)
Which technology would be best in locating soft tissue injuries?
MRI SCAN
Do CT scans usually produce sharper images of soft tissue than those obtained using MRI?
No, CT scans do not usually produce sharper images of soft tissue than those obtained using MRI.
What uses powerful magnets to examine soft tissue and structure in the brain?
Mri scan
What type of technology would allow you to see the soft tissue of the brain?
An MRI scanner.
Which medical scan is for visualizing soft tissue?
Mri of the body... Or a cat scan of the head
What does paravertebral soft tissue grossly unremarkable on a MRI of Lumbar Spine?
It means the muscles, ligaments, and tendons in your lower back are normal on MRI.
Can whiplash look like degenerative disease?
No. Whiplash doesn't "look" like anything. Degenerative disease is very easy to see on a MRI. Soft tissue injuries heal with or without treatment. Kind of like going to the gym in January and over doing it...then waking up in the morning being very sore!
What technique involves the use of magnetic fields and radio waves to produce images of the brains soft tissue?
MRI - Magnetic Resonance Imaging
What is the difference between CT and MRI images from a physician's point of view for example the appearance of different tissues?
CT suited for detecting cancers, viewing bone injuries, diagnosing lung and chest problems.MRI is suited for examining brain tumors, spinal cord injuries, soft tissue in ligament and tendon injuries,-CT Provides good details about bony structures. MRI Less detailed compared to X-ray-CT Good soft tissue differentiation especially with intravenous contrast. Higher imaging resolution. MRI is better at telling the difference between different soft tissues and between normal and abnormal soft tissue-CT scan is faster than MRI.-effective radiation dose from CT ranges from 2 to 10 mSv. No Radiation for MRI-CT can pose the risk of irradiation. Not the case of MRI
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.
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.
