What is magnetic resonance imaging?
Magnetic resonance imaging is one of the most accurate and modern methods of visual diagnostics, which can be used to obtain detailed multidimensional cross-sectional images of various organs and parts of the body. During the magnetic resonance imaging procedure, the patient is placed in special equipment and is exposed to magnetic fields and radio waves.
How magnetic resonance imaging occurs?
During magnetic resonance imaging, the patient is exposed to a harmless magnetic field and radio waves. Then the information obtained with the help of appropriate sensors is processed on a computer in a special program that is responsible for creating a digital image.
Magnetic resonance procedure images allow to assess, how well the tested organs are performing its’ operational functions, and if in any of the organs or blood vessels the blood flow is not disturbed. Thanks to MRI technology, it is possible to diagnose pathologic changes or illnesses in its early development stages, and if the MRI examination is conducted timely, if necessary, it is possible to start an operative medical treatment process and prevent the risks of serious diseases.
