      Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI)

      Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) is one of the most advanced and safe diagnostic techniques in the field of medicine, which uses strong magnetic fields and radio waves to create images of the inside of the body without the use of radiation. Here is some useful information about the procedure, indications and benefits of MRI:

      How Magnetic Tomography Works
      MRI uses a strong magnetic field and radio waves to create images of the inside of the body.
      The magnetic field causes the body's hydrogen atoms to align, and the radio waves cause the molecules to resonate, which is recorded to create the images.
      The procedure is painless and does not require the use of radiation (unlike other methods, such as X-ray or CT scan).
      What are the indications for MRI?
      MRI is used to diagnose and monitor many conditions, such as:
      Neurology: Detection of tumors, multiple sclerosis, strokes, neurological disorders and other conditions of the brain and spinal cord.
      Orthopedics: Diagnosis of damage to ligaments, muscles, tendons, as well as joints, for example, in cases of injuries to cartilage or joints such as the knee or shoulders.
      Cardiology: Assessment of the condition of the heart, such as heart disease, cardiomyopathy, or blood vessel damage.
      Respiratory: Detection of lung tumors or other respiratory problems.
      Cancer: Monitoring the growth of tumors and the spread of cancer to other parts of the body.
      Advantages of Magnetic Tomography
      Accuracy: Provides excellent resolution images of various organs and tissues, such as the brain, spinal cord, joints, and body organs.
      Safety: It does not use radiation, which makes it safer than other methods, such as computed tomography (CT).
      Non-invasive: The procedure does not require surgery or opening the body.
      Analytical: Ideal for monitoring progressive diseases, such as tumors or degenerative diseases
      Possible Risks and Side Effects
      Restrictions due to implants or metal objects: If you have implants, pacemakers, or other metal objects in your body, you must inform your doctor and MRI technician, as these objects may affect the quality of the examination or cause risks.
      Contrast: In some cases, contrast is used to help enhance the images. If you are allergic to contrast agents or have kidney problems, tell your doctor.
      Claustrophobia: If you have a phobia of closed spaces, the procedure may be difficult, as it requires you to remain inside a narrow machine for a long time.
      Preparation for Magnetic Tomography
      Removing metal objects: Before entering the MRI machine, you must remove all metal objects (jewelry, watches, cell phones, etc.).
      Contrast: If the test requires the use of contrast, you may be asked not to eat or drink for a few hours before the procedure.
      Depending on the part of the body being examined, you may need to wear special clothing or clothing that does not have metal parts.
      Duration and Exams
      The duration of an MRI scan usually ranges from 20 to 60 minutes, depending on the area of the body being examined and the number of images required.
      In some cases, more than one session may be required, depending on the need for additional images or studies.
      Interpretation of Results
      The analysis of MRI images is usually performed by a radiologist, who records the findings and sends them to the treating physician for a definitive diagnosis.
      The results may require time to be interpreted correctly, as it is necessary to assess the image in relation to the patient's clinical picture.
      MRI is an excellent diagnostic technique that allows doctors to see the organs and tissues of the body with very high precision, without the use of dangerous radiation. However, it is important to follow the preparation instructions and discuss any concerns with your doctor before the test.
