MRI is an abbreviation that is described as magnetic resonance imaging. This method makes it possible to scan the internal organs of a person, body tissue without the use of ionizing radiation. The method is based on the study of the electromagnetic response (resonance) from atomic nuclei, primarily the nuclei of hydrogen atoms, which, when excited in a magnetic field, help to read information about the state of internal organs and their work.
Diagnostics with MRI almost harmless to humans, more about it can be found on the website , but it makes it possible to get the maximum possible information about a particular organ. In particular, this method is actively used to follow the brain, the state of its vessels and the function of neurons. MRI successfully identifies tumors, hematomas, foci of ischemia in which blood circulation is impaired, and much more, because of which the patient has dizziness, headache, tinnitus, etc. Moreover, the use of magnetic resonance for diagnosing the state of the brain, as well as blood vessels, is, at the moment, the most modern, accurate, fast and reliable diagnostic method.
There are many indications for the appointment of diagnostics using magnetic resonance. Among them:
- Headaches, especially of unknown origin
- Dizziness
- Speech disorders, motor disorders
- Anomalies in the development of the brain
- States with loss of consciousness, as well as impaired orientation, memory
- Suspected brain tumor
- Strokes and suspicion of them
- Multiple sclerosis
- Parasites in the brain, suspicion of their presence
- head injuries
- Violations of the function of the respiratory system, cardiac activity, etc.
MRI allows examining tumors, cysts, hematomas, vascular aneurysms, edema, foci of stroke and multiple sclerosis, the presence of parasites, etc. This method also makes it possible to see how pathological formations and foci affect neighboring tissues and organs.
Modern tomographs develop a magnetic field strength of 1.5 Teslo and can provide information with a tissue section of 1.5 mm, which means that a violation can be detected when the pathological process is at the very beginning, in the early stages. Due to this, the effectiveness of treatment increases significantly.
In order for the diagnosis on the MRI device to be as effective as possible, you need to choose a clinic with modern equipment, which employs qualified MRI experts, as well as accurately follow all the instructions that the doctor will give before conducting the study.
