MAGNETIC RESONANCE IMAGING (MRI)

In Magnetic Resonance Imaging, abbreviated as MRI, a powerful magnet coupled with specially programmed radio signals are used to take exquisite pictures of various internal parts of the body. Compared to X-rays, it produces more detailed and precise computer generated images of the body’s soft tissue.

MRI has really proved its worth by helping in the diagnosis of a plethora of pathological conditions, such as cancer, cardio-vascular diseases, joints and musculoskeletal disorders. MRI is non-invasive, and in many cases, reduces the need for further tests of invasive procedures.

In comparison to other types of imaging, MRI yields detailed and minute images of the body’s soft tissues; for example, it helps in differentiating various sections and sub-sections of the brain.MRI is the only modality that allows us to view the spinal cord. It is also a primary tool for diagnosing conditions of neurology, orthopedics and cardiology.

Broadly speaking, you might need an MRI service, if you are suffering from:

1. Abdominal diseases.
2. Tumors (both malignant and benign).
3. Spinal and vertebral problems.
4. Cardiac malformations and vascular disorders.
5. Various type of infections.
