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.

The patient should not have any magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) tests for six months after the procedure, because the magnetic field may move the stent.

The M stands for magnetic. If you wear metal jewelry into the machine, it can rip it out. Ouch.

I'm not a doctor !!! but i request a MRI after two doctors send it me to work, they do X-rays 3, chiropractic , but I just was work with ice pack on my back for 12-14 hrs a day and pills, is was something wrong, I'm got a lawyer they do MRI and they find a hernia bulge disc in the lumbar area, to inside off the column, the doctors and even X-rays cant diagnose to many things.

After thyroid removal, the use of MRI contrast typically poses minimal risk. However, some patients may experience allergic reactions to the contrast agent, such as itching or hives, and in rare cases, more severe reactions can occur. Additionally, those with kidney issues should be cautious, as certain contrast agents can pose risks. It's always best to discuss any concerns with your healthcare provider before undergoing an MRI.

An MRI can be done with or without contrast. Your doctor may request it either way, depending on conditions. Contrast is most often used with specific need -- such as contrasting bloodflow, to see where vascularity is good, or to observe the extent of a hemorrhage. Usually, a torn meniscus doesn't require this, but there are situations where it can.

You lie face down on the mri bed with your arm extended...then keep your arm very still and the scan takes place....takes about 30 minutes!!

This is directly from the Medicare and You 2009 book: Tests: Including X-rays, MRIs, CT scans, EKGs, and some other diagnostic tests. You pay 20% of the Medicare-approved amount, and the Part B deductible applies. See "Clinical Laboratory Services" on page 27 for other Part B-covered tests. If you get the test as a hospital outpatient, you pay a specified copayment that may be more than 20% of the Medicare-approved amount but can't be more than the Part A hospital stay deductible.

It takes 3 years to become a CT Technologist. 2 years of x-ray school first, then if there's open position in a CT department the other CT techs will train you. CT training itself by other CT techs will take about a year before you can feel confident and be competent.

If MRI data is stored on tape, then it can't be played on any disc player. If the data is formatted as a television signal and then stored on a DVD, it is quite possible that the images can be played to a television.

The plane of acquisition in BLADE is rotating, vs. a standard FLAIR has a single direction plane of acquisition (e.g. axial or sag). For BLADE, picture a plane rotating on a point like a see-saw, but 360 degrees. BLADE has been demonstrated to correct better for motion and Gibbs artifacts. See Wintersperger et al, 2006 in Investigative Radiology.

Not at this time, from what I've seen.

i have no idea but have heard they make alot in one year.

The patient hears a thumping sound for the duration of the procedure. To increase comfort, music supplied via earphones is often provided. Some patients become anxious, or they may panic because they are inside a small, enclosed tube.

Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) is a test that uses a magnetic field and pulses of radio wave energy to make pictures of organs and structures inside the body. In many cases MRI gives different information about structures in the body than can be seen with an X-ray, ultrasound, or computed tomography (CT) scan. MRI also may show problems that cannot be seen with other imaging methods.

For an MRI test, the area of the body being studied is placed inside a special machine that contains a strong magnet. Pictures from an MRI scan are digital images that can be saved and stored on a computer for more study. The images also can be reviewed remotely, such as in a clinic or an operating room. In some cases, contrast material may be used during the MRI scan to show certain structures more clearly. Mostly diploma and degree courses are available in MRI technology which you can do to become a MRI technician.

An correct answer is difficult; 10 or 20, probably.

Across the country, a full back MRI could cost anywhere from $800.00 to $2,000.00. Part of the price depends on the body part(s) being tested and the length of the exam. Call a few MRI out-patient companies and ask what they charge.
