Yes, an MRI can detect septal defects in the heart, such as atrial or ventricular septal defects. Cardiac MRI provides detailed images of the heart's structure and function, allowing for accurate assessment of any abnormalities. It is particularly useful for evaluating complex congenital Heart diseases and assessing the impact of the defect on heart function. However, echocardiography is often the first-line imaging method for diagnosing these defects.
What else can I help you with?
Can an mri determine past heart attacks?
It can however detect conditions such as cardiac tumors and heart disease.Heart MRI may be used to evaluate or diagnose:Heart muscle damage after a heart attackBirth defects of the heartHeart tumors and growthsWeakening or problems with the heart muscleSymptoms of heart failure
Can MRI detect bipolar disorder?
no
Why get a MRI of the thorax?
An MRI of the thorax is performed to obtain detailed images of the heart, lungs, and surrounding structures, which can help diagnose conditions such as tumors, infections, or inflammatory diseases. It is particularly useful for assessing soft tissues, blood vessels, and the heart's anatomy and function without exposing the patient to ionizing radiation. Additionally, MRI can evaluate complex congenital heart defects and assist in treatment planning.
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.
Can electrocardiogram be used to diagnose all heart diseases or defects Explain?
An electrocardiogram (ECG) is a valuable tool for diagnosing various heart conditions, as it records the electrical activity of the heart. However, it cannot diagnose all heart diseases or defects, as some conditions may not produce detectable changes on an ECG. For example, structural defects or certain types of heart disease may require additional imaging techniques, such as echocardiograms or MRI, for accurate diagnosis. Therefore, while an ECG is an important diagnostic tool, it is typically used in conjunction with other tests for a comprehensive assessment of heart health.
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 is a cardiac MRI used for?
A Cardiac MRI is used for diagnosing and assessing many conditions related to the heart and major blood vessels. These can include heart disease and heart valve problems.
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 doing MRI can a person check his heart?
Actually, if you have a pacemaker you can never get in a mri machine.....the best exam to check your heart would be a nuclear exam or even an echocardiogram
