Diffusion in an MRI scan relies on the movement of water molecules within tissues, which can be quantified using diffusion-weighted imaging (DWI). In areas where water molecules are free to move, such as healthy brain tissue, the diffusion signal appears bright. Conversely, in regions with restricted diffusion, like in certain types of strokes or tumors, the signal is darker. This contrast helps in identifying and characterizing various pathological conditions.
A CT scan is about $300 to $6750, while a MRI scan is $400 to $12,000.
Restricted diffusion in MRI refers to the phenomenon where the movement of water molecules within tissue is limited due to obstacles such as cell membranes or dense cellular structures. This restriction can be visualized using diffusion-weighted imaging (DWI), where areas of restricted diffusion appear brighter on the MRI scan. It is often associated with pathological conditions, such as acute ischemic strokes or tumors, as these conditions can increase cellularity or alter the microenvironment, hindering normal water movement.
no it is not possible to have an MRI scan because the dfibrillator is dirupted by magnets and that is what an MRI is, a giant magnet.
A bone scan, or x-ray is simply a different type of scan than an MRI. No kind of scan is better than another, it simply depends what the scan is trying to ascertain.
A PET scan shows what level / stage (if any) the cancer is at. An MRI scan doesn't do this, the reader, looks for abnormalities on the scan which shows up everything in the body.
No. It is not a treatment it is a scan. An MRI is a Magnetic Resonance Imaging. MRI are used for imaging tissues.
An MRI can be a way of diagnosing a person with epilepsy, but does not have any effect on epilepsy. It is just used to scan the brain.An MRI can be a way of diagnosing a person with epilepsy, but does not have any effect on epilepsy.

It depends on what the problem with the elbow is. If it is a bone related injury then the CT scan will show more detail but if the problem is with the muscles or ligaments, then the MRI Scan will be more useful.
Mri of the body... Or a cat scan of the head

A CT scan, yes. An MRI scan- maybe. It will depend on information from the manufacturer of the device you have implanted. Most are not affected by an MRI, but that is up to medical staff to determine.
Magnetic resonance imaging.
