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.
An elbow small effusion on an MRI refers to the presence of a small amount of excess fluid in the elbow joint, which can indicate inflammation or injury. This fluid accumulation may result from conditions such as bursitis, arthritis, or trauma. The MRI helps to visualize the effusion and assess the surrounding structures for any abnormalities. Evaluating the effusion is crucial for diagnosing the underlying cause and determining appropriate treatment.

MRI technician courses average about 15 months. After the coursework, you have to take a MRI certification test. The test requires application and advanced registration. You can plan on about two years from when you start until you are certified.
about 4-5 weeks make sure the elbow is well iced Love always, Maddy900
The take-out for a 4-inch long radius degree weld elbow (or ell) is typically determined by the radius of the elbow and the pipe diameter. For a long radius elbow, the centerline radius is usually 1.5 times the pipe diameter; therefore, for a 4-inch diameter pipe, the centerline radius would be 6 inches. The take-out length is generally the distance from the end of the pipe to the point where the elbow connects, which can be calculated based on the elbow's radius and the angle of the bend. For a 90-degree elbow, the take-out would be approximately equal to the radius plus the straight length of the pipe before and after the elbow, typically resulting in about 9 to 10 inches.
Yes. MRI machines include powerful magnets that take a long time (and cost alot) to turn on and off so they are kept on the whole time.
You can usually complete the training to become a mri technician in about 2 years. Many hospitals offer the courses required to get the certification.
In the area of industrial pipe fittings: Long radius 90 deg elbow has a take off dimension of one and one half times the nominal diameter of the pipe. Ex-4 inch pipe has an actual diameter of 4.5, for the elbow the take off dimension would be 4"*1.5=6". The short radius elbow take off dimension is the same as the nominal size, 4". To add to the point, a short radius elbow can be used typically where space is a constraint. Hence fluid flow is also restricted in this case unlike in case using of Long Elbow.

In my opinion anyone can get a mri tech position, as long as they do not have a felony. To learn more about being a mri tech, contact some medical schools and most of the courses will take no more than 8-10 months.
