An MRI cannot directly diagnose amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS), as it does not show the specific nerve cell damage characteristic of the disease. However, it can help rule out other conditions that may mimic ALS symptoms by providing detailed images of the brain and spinal cord. In some cases, an MRI may show changes associated with upper motor neuron degeneration, but these findings are not definitive for ALS. Diagnosis typically relies on clinical evaluation and electromyography (EMG) testing.
What else can I help you with?
Can MRI detect bipolar disorder?
no
Can you get a mri to check your eyes?
An MRI can't prescribe glasses or contacts, but can detect tumors.
Will an mri dectect a torn ratator cuff?
It depends, an mri will only detect it if the scanner is in the shoulder region
What tool is used to detect appendicitis?
MRI or a urine test.
Is there a specialist just to locate a lost IUD?
If you suspect an Inter-Uterine device (IUD) is missing, an MRI can detect it, if it's still inside the body. Of course, if the MRI doesn't detect it, it isn't there anymore.
What techniques might be used to detect subdural hematoma?
CT, MRI, NIR, angiography
Which type of brain diagnostic tool is best for detecting enlarged fluid-filled regions in patients with schizophrenia?
The MRI would detect enlarged vesicles.
When is an MRI used to diagnose an acoustic neuroma?
If an acoustic neuroma is strongly suspected then magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) is usually performed. The MRI is a very accurate evaluation that is able to detect nearly 100% of acoustic neuromas
How are neuronal migration disorders diagnosed?
Diagnosis is usually made by neuroimaging. CT scan or MRI of the brain will show the characteristic abnormality. MRI has better resolution and may detect polymicrogyria or small heterotopias more easily than CT.
What is German word als mean?
als = as als = than als = by the time als = when
Will an mri detect glass in the throat?
An MRI is not typically used to detect glass in the throat, as it is primarily designed for imaging soft tissues, organs, and joints. Glass is a dense material that may not be easily visible on MRI scans. Instead, a CT scan or X-ray would be more effective for identifying foreign objects like glass in the throat due to their ability to visualize denser materials. If there is suspicion of glass ingestion, seeking immediate medical attention is essential.
What are tests for CNS infections?
X-ray, MRI, and CT scans. X-rays detect lesions in internal organs. Computed axial tomography (CT) scans and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) are used to diagnose CNS parasitic infections
