What else can I help you with?
Is imaging useful in discovering obstructed blood supplies in organs and tissues?
Yes, imaging techniques such as ultrasound, CT scans, and MRI can be useful in identifying obstructed blood supplies in organs and tissues. These techniques can help visualize the blood vessels and detect blockages or restrictions in blood flow, allowing for timely diagnosis and treatment.
What is the diagnostic procedure that images the structures of the blood vessels and the flow of blood through these vessels?
The diagnostic procedure that images the structures of blood vessels and the flow of blood through them is called an angiography. This test uses contrast dye and imaging techniques like X-rays, CT scans, or MRI to visualize any blockages or abnormalities in the blood vessels.
Function of a magnet?
A magnet generates a magnetic field that attracts or repels other materials containing iron, nickel, or cobalt. This property allows magnets to be used in a wide range of applications, including compasses, electric motors, and MRI machines.
What is an imaging technique used to display soft tissue?
Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) is an imaging technique that is commonly used to display soft tissues in the body, such as muscles, organs, and blood vessels. MRI uses a strong magnetic field and radio waves to create detailed images of soft tissues without using radiation.
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.
What element is a component of red blood cells that MRI machines can produce detailed pictuers of the inside of the body because of that element in the blood?
This element is iron, a component of the hemoglobin molecule.
what is a lumbar discgram why doesnt it show on mri?
There is no real reason why a lumbar discgram will not show up on a mri.
Does a person need a GFR blood test done before having a MRI?
Not always. Before a routine MRI scan no GFR test is needed. Some MRI scans will require an injection of a drug (contrast) which is used to highlight different aspects of blood supply. There is a small risk of this contrast affecting kidney function so some MRI centres test kidney function before administration. One such test is GFR
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.
Do you say an MRI or a MRI?
an MRI
Do you say a MRI or an MRI?
an MRI
Why check kidney functions with a blood test before an MRI?
If contrast is going to be usedduring the MRI, kidney function must be adequate to filter the contrast. If they are compromised the contrast can cause a serious disease.
What does MRA stands for?
Magnetic Resonance Imaging is a type of MRI (magnetic resonance imaging) that checks blood flow.
Can dialysis cause confusion?
Do you need a mri afeter dialysis. For confusion
What are three devices that help a human live longer?
x ray, blood preshure mechine,mri scanner
What is a functional MRI?
Functional MRI is an MRI procedure to determine activation in the brain during activities or in disease condition. Also known as fMRI. fMRI uses the same MRI machine as other examinations but it requires special additional software. Detection of activation in the brain is determined by the oxygen content in the blood vessel under the premise that oxygen level is high when the brain is activated.
What neurological disorders can be diagnosed by the mri?
Lots! Most abnormalities of the brain can be seen on MRI better than on a CAT scan e.g. brain tumours, multiple sclerosis, Parkinson's, blood clots and lesions. Neuro science is a complex area with numerous diseases and the MRI has greatly assisted in diagnosing neurological conditions.
