Can 14K jewelry been worn during a MRI?

It depends on what body part you are having scanned. If your jewelry is made of gold or a type of metal that does not attract to a magnet you may not have to remove it. However, it will show up on the image and cause artifacts. Therefor, for example if you are having a scan done on your brain and you are wearing earrings and a necklace, it can cause problems with the image. You will probably be asked to remove them.

Do you have to put your whole body in a mri scan when testing the foot?

Can you tell in a MRI if the panacentral L4 and L5 herniation is a new injury?

An MRI can provide detailed images of the spine and reveal the presence of a herniated disc at the L4 and L5 levels, but it cannot definitively determine if the herniation is a new injury. However, certain features, such as the appearance of the herniation, associated inflammation, or the presence of other injuries, may suggest recent changes. Comparing the MRI findings with previous imaging, if available, can also help assess whether it is a new injury. Clinical correlation with symptoms and patient history is essential for a comprehensive evaluation.

Can an MRI detect problems in organs and in the pelvis?

Yes, an MRI can effectively detect problems in various organs and the pelvis. It provides detailed images of soft tissues, making it useful for diagnosing conditions in organs such as the liver, kidneys, and reproductive systems, as well as identifying issues like tumors, inflammation, or structural abnormalities in the pelvic region. However, the specific effectiveness may depend on the type of MRI protocol used and the patient's condition.

What is a MIR machine?

Magnetic resonance imaging

Why are cryogens used in mri?

To keep the magnet cool. MRI machines need to generate a very strong magnetic field. They do this using superconducting electromagnet- basically a large coil of wire with a large current passing through it. The magnet must be kept very cold, almost at absolute zero, or it will not superconduct.

Twisted knee 5 months back did a MRI scan of my knee which says Tear noted along posterior horn of medial meniscus the pain is very less due to phsyiotherapy during this period what should i do?

The pain has improved because of therapy?

I assume you are considering a return to normal activities?


I would definitely get a doctor's OK before proceeding. Just to give you peace of mind. It may be that more therapy is needed. I have endured more than 15 knee surgeries and other procedures so I've been there and done that. Never go too fast when returning to activities from an injury.


Were you told surgery was required? If so, see if that is still indicated.


Otherwise, work up slowly. Don't push yourself and don't work so hard as to cause pain. Stop before reaching that point. Over time do a little more until you feel good enough to return to your activity of choice. Also, take anti-inflammatory medications to reduce any remaining tenderness or swelling. Of course, check with your doc to be sure taking these drugs is OK for you. He/she can also advise you as to dose. Alternating heat and cold is also good. Twenty minutes for each. Try this 2-3 times per day. Finally, when you are active be sure to warm up and cool down, stretching is good. Never so all out w/o warming up and never just stop abruptly w/o slowing down.


Most important is the doctor OK. Good luck.

Does an MRI cause dehydration?

No. A magnetic resonance imaging machine does not cause dehydration. However, the medical reason for having the MRI may indeed be causing dehydration.

Dehydration is not listed as a side effect on the web site:

http://mri-side-effects.net/

Some of the side effects listed are the same symptoms of dehydration, but are not an indication that the patient has lost water.

The contrast dye that is injected for some MRI scans may have its own issues though:

What does it mean when the MRI comes back with mild disc bulge and compression of C4-c5 disc thecal sak with super impose disc herniation?

I do know that this can cause a great deal of pain in the shoulder and arm, compression means that it is on the spinal cord. I think I would consider surgery.

How would one go about obtaining a mobile MRI?

A mobile MRI is a MRI service that is available to come to one's home rather than having to wait to have one done at a hospital. One would only be able to obtain a mobile MRI if it were available in one's specific location. This is offered through the Siemens Healthcare website where one can inquire as to the availability in a specific area.

What is an open mri technician job?

What is an arthrogram?

An arthrogram is a series of images, often X-rays, of a joint after injection of a contrast medium.

Is it safe to have another MRI after six months?

MRI Magnetic Resonance Imaging.

An MRI does not use dangerous radiation like an X-ray does. It is just a powerful magnetic field that (so far) hasn't been associated with any deliberating effect.

What is a Telemetry Monitor Technician?

What rays are given off with an MRI?

An MRI scanner emits radio waves whilst it is scanning and utilises a strong magnetic field. It does not emit any ionising radiation like X-rays.
