it uses nuclear fusion-I don't think so!! It uses electrical energy to move the magnetic fields around in order to scan the subject. Nuclear fusion is not used for any purpose on earth except H-bombs

How does hospital us nuclear fusion?

Hospitals do not use nuclear fusion. Nuclear fusion is a process that generates energy by fusing atomic nuclei together, while hospitals primarily use technologies like X-rays, MRI, and ultrasound for medical diagnosis and treatment. Nuclear fusion research is still in the experimental stage for energy production and is not yet implemented in hospital settings.


Can you give a dead person an MRI?

No, MRI scans can only be done on living individuals. The MRI machine requires the person to be able to follow specific instructions to remain still during the scan, which is not possible for a deceased individual.


Which is an electromagnetic device?

An MRI machine is an example of an electromagnetic device, using magnetic fields and radio waves to produce detailed images of the inside of the body.


Does an MRI create images by combining high-frequency ultrasonic waves and strong magnets?

No, an MRI (Magnetic Resonance Imaging) machine uses a strong magnetic field and radio waves to generate detailed images of the inside of the body. It does not use ultrasonic waves, which are commonly used in ultrasound imaging.


How is helium use by hospitals?

Helium is used in hospitals for various medical purposes, such as cooling magnets in MRI machines, as a carrier gas for respiratory therapies, and in mixtures for lung function testing. Its relatively low density also makes it useful for creating a positive-pressure environment during surgeries and other medical procedures.

What is MRI in doctors language?

Doctors call MRI, MRI! There's no other term for it. It stands for 'Magnetic Resonance Imaging'. It used to be called NMR 'nuclear magnetic resonance' but the name was changed because people didn't like the idea of a 'nuclear' machine - although it's got absolutely nothing to do with bombs or radiation... just the same word used for a different thing.

Will my head be out of the MRI for an MRI of my tibia?

If the MRI technologist positions you with your leg going into the magnet (the MRI machine) then your head would be out of it. Call the facility where you are scheduled to have the MRI and ask to speak with the MRI technologist and they can fully explain to you exactly how you will be positioned.
