What is an MRI
M.R.I stands for Magnetic Resonance Imaging
In magnetic resonance imaging, high-frequency waves and stronger magnetic materials than x-ray are used to provide remarkable clarity of the joints, tissues, and internal organs of the body
This technique provides a valuable diagnostic spectrum of pathological conditions of all parts of the body, including cancer, heart disease, stroke, joint disease, and neuromuscular diseases. In the MRI technique, it requires special equipment and experts and allows to evaluate structures that cannot be seen in normal imaging
What is the common use of MRI
MRI is widely used to diagnose injuries caused by sports, especially those that affect the knee, shoulder, hip, elbow, and wrist. These images allow the doctor to see the torn ligaments and muscles around the elbow. In addition, MRI is used to detect closed blood vessels to diagnose arthritis, coronary arteries, aorta and heart problems
With this test, the doctor determines the size and thickness of the heart lesion in heart attacks and advanced heart diseases to some extent. Chest and abdominal organs, including lungs, kidneys, liver, spleen, pancreas, can be imaged with high details in MRI
There is the ability to diagnose and evaluate tumors and irregular lesions in MRI, which is a common and widespread method today. Normally, MRI works faster than mammography with x-rays in the diagnosis of breast cancer
MRI is a suitable diagnostic tool for testing male and female reproductive system, hip and shoulder
