Benefits and Limitations of MRI Scan

By

Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) is a noninvasive medical test that physicians use to detect medical conditions. MRI of the body uses a powerful magnetic field, radio waves and a computer to deliver a complete image of the inside of your body such as organs, soft tissues, bone and virtually all other internal body structures. MRI equipment are also used to analyze or monitor treatment for an assortment of conditions within the chest, stomach area and pelvis. In case you're pregnant, body MRI might be used to safely monitor your child.

Benefits:

1. MRI is useful for the scanning and diagnosis of abnormalities in soft tissue structures in the body like the cartilage tissues and soft organs like the brain or the heart.

2. There is no inclusion of any sort of radiation in the MRI, so it is ok for the people who can be vulnerable to the impacts of radiation, for example, pregnant ladies or children.

3. MRI scan can give information about the blood circulation all through the body and veins and furthermore enable the detection of problems related to the blood circulation.

Limitations

2. MRI scans produce really loud noises while working because they involve a really high amount of electric current supply.

3. MRI scanners are expensive also.

  1. Yes MRI scanners are very expensive; a single scanner can cost over a million pounds. Some time ago, Nvidia Graphics Card was not working of my MRI machine. I found this very costly. So I have purchased refurbished Nvidia Graphics Card to save money.
