MRI

manly in the middle of the mri

There are different types of MRI devices, however, one of the biggest and most common things that would disqualify a patient getting an MRI would be metal in the body. Surgical pins, staples in the stomach and the like.

SOMETHING ISDISPLACING THE ROOT, TYPICALLY A DISCAL HERNIATION. SYMPTOMS INCLUDES PAIN IN ANTEROLATERAL LEG. FIRST-TREATMENT IS ANTI-INFLAMMATORY DRUGS OR STEROIDS, SECOND PERINEURAL INFILTRATION OF STEROIDS, THIRD SURGERY

A radiologist is the person who analyzes MRI exams.

Sometimes having to concentrate on remaining still for a long period of time might lead you to feel tired after an MRI scan but there is nothing inherent in an MRI scan itself e.g. the magnetic field which will have any effect on how tired you might feel.

dear friend

an mri application specialist starting salary in India is approximately 25000 -30000 rs per month and with many years experience reaches 75000 rs per month .

it involves travelling and interacting with doctors technologists and other engineers .

No, the amount of radiation in an MRI is too minimal to cause sterility.

Meaning of chronic microangiopathy on brain MRI report

This is probably muscle pain. The way to diagnose this is IF twisting, turning, bending, reaching up causes the pain to appear, then the most-likely answer is muscle pain. I use a Homedic massager (Walmart: around $35.00) to the area a couple of times a day. The machine shuts off in 15 minutes so you won't damage the instrument... If this action (twisting, etc) does NOT aggravate --or cause-- the pain, then other things need to be evaluated... If it is about the belly-button level (in the back, of course) then the kidneys need to be checked. If it is in line with your underarm area, then it could be a (very rare) hernia. Hope this helps.

i would have to say about 80,000 dollars

The MRI has been known to cause minor long-term shrinking of the male genitalia. The amount it will shrink it is hardly anything to be worried about, however; as little as 1/10 of an inch for a single MRI. In the worst cases, it's never been more than 1/2 of an inch from a single MRI.

have not had 1, think it is good idea. have had optic neuritis numerous times

It means there is a very small ammount of edema/fluid in that area.

No it should be out of system in 2-7 days, but for safety they say 30 days.

Yes you can have an MRI with Harrinton rod in your lumbar spine. Harrington rods are made of titanium making it safe to enter an MRI Scanner.

An average person cannot buy an MRI machine, as they are reserved for medical purposes. If one was to find an MRI machine for sale, it would be very expensive to buy.

MRI films are kept as long as necessary, especially if you see the same doctor. You can have records transferred and then your new doctor will have them. They are consistently kept on record for years before they are not needed.

what is microangiopathic ischemic

There are two sorts of MRI scanner - permanent and superconducting. The computing components of the scanners (software etc.) can be turned off simply as you would any computer. However, if you're referring to the magnetic field, there are different answers for each scanner.

A permanent magnet (often called an open magnet) cannot be switched off. It is made of an alloy which has been exposed to a magnetic field and is thus made magnetic itself. You can't switch it off any more than you can switch off a fridge magnet.

A superconducting electromagnet more commonly found in hospitals can go through a process called "quenching". This can happen accidentally very occasionally or deliberately in an emergency. If, for example, someone was trapped between a large magnetic object and the scanner, the operator can hit the quench button. This blows valves leading from the scanner to the outside of the building, venting the liquid helium used to supercool the magnet in a gaseous form, and over several seconds the magnetic field will dissipate. This is to be avoided and only done in an absolute emergency.

The engineer can also perform a controlled quench for certain types of work to be done, but again, this is rarely done as it can take some time to get the scanner up and running again.

So, with just one or two exceptions, the magnetic field to an MRI scanner is never switched off, even if the computer side of it is shut down e.g. at the end of the working day.

To the best of my knowledge, they don't. Magnetic Resonance machines have traditionally used more or less "off the shelf" CPUs; Varian VXRs used to use Motorola 68000s, and ChemMagnetics had an instrument built around a MIPS chip. Neither of these were particularly "special" - the M68k was the same chip used in early Macintosh computers, and the MIPS was the heart of the old SGI workstations.

Usually it can because fibrosis will be dark on T1 and T2 weighted sequences (except in the liver). Granulation tissue is variable but not dark on both, and is vascularized, so it will enhace early after contrast administration. Fibrosis only enhances late after contrast administration.

a patient is exposed to short bursts of powerful magnetic fields and radio waves from electromagnets. MRI images do not utilize potentially harmful ionizing radiation generated by three-dimensional x-ray computed tomography (CT) scans
