MRI: Magnetic Resonance Imaging (1.5 Tesla)

MRI is a diagnostic procedure that uses a combination of radiofrequency waves, a strong magnetic field, and a computer to provide remarkably clear and detailed images of internal organs, soft tissues, nerve tracts, and vertebral discs within the human body. Magnetic Resonance Imaging and Magnetic Resonance Angiography aid to obtain detailed images of any part of the human body. The technique has proven valuable for the diagnosis of a broad range of conditions including heart and vascular disease, stroke, cancer, joint and musculoskeletal disorders. It is an absolute standard for imaging the brain and the spinal cord.

MRI requires specialized equipment and expertise that allows the evaluation of some body structures that may not be visible with other imaging methods. MRI gives such a clear picture of soft-tissue structures near and around bones being sensitive examination for spinal and joint problems. MRI is widely used to diagnose injuries, especially those affecting the knee, shoulder, hip, elbow, and wrist. The images reveal very small tears and injuries to ligaments and muscles

There is no risk of radiation exposure during MRI procedure.

What to expect during MRI ?


The Procedure

Typically, MRI exam lasts about 20 to 30 minutes; however, the exam time can vary based upon the specific nature of your individual study. Technician will escort you into the MRI scanning room. You will be asked to lie on a padded table comfortably. The table will slide into the MRI machine. Lie very still during the test and you will be guided to hold your breath for a short time to minimize any body movement. You will hear bearable thumping noises or knocking sounds while the magnet is working. You may be given ear plugs to wear. Technician will be monitoring you during the entire exam through a window and will communicate with you through an intercom. You may drive home after the test if you were not given any medicine or contrast to help you relax during the test.

The specific examination will be explained in detail by MRI technicians.

Benefits:

MR imaging of the human body is performed to evaluate conditions such as:

  • Whole Body MRI Scan
  • Abnormalities or injuries to joints
  • Heart problems
  • Causes of pelvic pain
  • Abnormalities of the spinal cord or brain
  • Potential uterine abnormalities in women
  • Cysts and Tumors
  • Diseases of abdominal organs
