MRI and CT Scans

MRI Scans

An MRI Scan (magnetic resonance imaging) is a painless technique that allows doctors to look at the soft tissues of the body.

It is used to gather important information about your brain, spine, joints or other internal organs. It helps study nerves, muscles, ligaments, bones, and other tissues. These studies are used to evaluate the possible presence injuries to these areas. MRI’s use magnetic fields and radio waves to obtain incredibly detailed images of the human body.

Envision Imaging offers several options for your MRI procedure:

Head - MRI can look at the brain for tumors, an aneurysm, bleeding in the brain, nerve injury, and other problems, such as damage caused by a stroke. MRI can also find problems of the eyes and optic nerves f, and the ears and auditory nerves.

Chest -  MRI of the chest can look at the heart, the valves, and coronary blood vessels . It can show if the heart or lungs are damaged. MRI of the chest may also be used to look for breast cancer.

Blood vessels -  Using MRI to look at blood vessels and the flow of blood through them is called magnetic resonance Angiography (MRA). It can find problems of the arteries and veins, such as an aneurysm, a blocked blood vessel, or the torn lining of a blood vessel (dissection). Sometimes contrast material is used to see the blood vessels more clearly.

Abdomen and pelvis -  MRI can find problems in the organs and structures in the belly, such as the liver, gallbladder, pancreas, kidneys, and bladder. It is used to find tumors, bleeding, infection, and blockage. In women, it can look at the uterus and ovaries. In men, it looks at the prostate.

Bones and joints -  MRI can check for problems of the bones and joints, such as arthritis, problems with the temporomandibular joint , bone marrow problems, bone tumors, cartilage  problems, torn ligaments or tendons, or infection. MRI may also be used to tell if a bone is broken when X-ray results are not clear. MRI is done more commonly than other tests to check for some bone and joint problems.

Spine -MRI can check the discs and nerves of the spine for conditions such as spinal stenosis, disc bulges, and spinal tumors.

CT Scans

A computerized tomography (CT) or computerized axial tomography (CAT) scan combines data from several X-rays to produce a detailed image of structures inside the body.

CT scans produce 2-dimensional images of a "slice" or section of the body, but the data can also be used to to construct 3-dimensional images. A CT scan can be compared to looking at one slice of bread within a whole loaf.

CT scans are used in hospitals worldwide.

It is useful for obtaining images of:

Soft tissues

The pelvis

Blood vessels

Lungs

Brain

Abdomen

Bones

CT is often the preferred way of diagnosing many cancers, such as liver, lung, and pancreatic cancers.

The image allows a doctor to confirm the presence and location of a tumor, its size, and how much it has affected nearby tissue.

A CT scan can reveal tumors, abnormal tissue, and problems with arteries.

A scan of the head can provide important information about the brain, for instance, if there is any bleeding, swelling of the arteries, or a tumor.

A CT scan can reveal a tumor in the abdomen, and any swelling or inflammation in nearby internal organs. It can show any lacerations of the spleen, kidneys, or liver.

As a CT scan detects abnormal tissue, it is useful for planning areas for radiotherapy and biopsies, and it can provide valuable data on blood flow and other vascular conditions.

It can help a doctor assess bone diseases, bone density, and the state of the patient's spine.

It can also provide vital data about injuries to a patient's hands, feet, and other skeletal structures. Even small bones are clearly visible, as well as their surrounding tissue.

         
              Magnetic Resonance Imaging ( MRI)


Magnetic Resonance Imaging Brain ( MRI) uses a magnetic field and pulses of radio wave energy to make pictures of the brain. It can be further divided into 1.5 Tesla vs. 3 Tesla MRI Brain Scan (Tesla is a unit of magnetic strength). These machines can produce better quality images at a faster pace. However, they are more expensive.

                                    Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI)


Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) is a test that uses a magnetic field and pulses of radio wave energy to make pictures of organs and structures inside the body. In many cases, MRI gives different information about structures in the body than can be seen with an X-ray, ultrasound, or computed tomography (CT) scan. MRI also may show problems that cannot be seen with other imaging methods.

For an MRI test, the area of the body being studied is placed inside a special machine that contains a strong magnet. Pictures from an MRI scan are digital images that can be saved and stored on a computer for more study. The images also can be reviewed remotely, such as in a clinic or an operating room. In some cases, contrast material may be used during the MRI scan to show certain structures more clearly.

You may be able to have an MRI with an open machine camera.gif that doesn't enclose your entire body. But open MRI machines aren't available everywhere. The pictures from an open MRI may not be as good as those from a standard MRI machine camera.gif.
Why It Is Done

Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) is done for many reasons. It is used to find problems such as tumors, bleeding, injury, blood vessel diseases, or infection. MRI also may be done to provide more information about a problem seen on an X-ray, ultrasound scan, or CT scan. Contrast material may be used during MRI to show abnormal tissue more clearly. An MRI scan can be done for the:

Head. MRI can look at the brain for tumors, an aneurysm, bleeding in the brain, nerve injury, and other problems, such as damage caused by a stroke. MRI can also find problems of the eyes and optic nerves camera.gif, and the ears and auditory nerves.
Chest. MRI of the chest can look at the heart, the valves, and coronary blood vessels camera.gif. It can show if the heart or lungs are damaged. MRI of the chest may also be used to look for breast cancer.

It can find problems of the arteries and veins, such as an aneurysm, a blocked blood vessel, or the torn lining of a blood vessel (dissection). Sometimes contrast material is used to see the blood vessels more clearly.

MRI Scan or Magnetic Resonance Imaging scan is a non invasive and painless process. It does not have radiation because magnetic rays are used to create the images instead of X rays. The cost depends on the machines specification, or I can say it is further divided into 1.5 Tesla vs. 3 Tesla MRI Scan (Tesla is a unit of magnetic strength). These machines can produce better quality images at a faster pace. However, they are more expensive.

A pulse sequence is initiated.  This typically has the magnetic gradients activating, followed by the radio pulse sequence, then a recieiving phase. During the slewing of the magnetic gradient fields, you can experience nerve induction from a very rapid acquisition.  You can experience warming from an aggressive sequence, but for the most part, the typical scan feels like nothing.  What was said before is true.  Hold still if possible, other wise it could be a long time in small space.

Generally whole body MRI scan includes Brain, Spine and Hip joint, that will cost you ₹3999-6000. It may vary, depending on the country and the city you are residing, and the kind of services you want.bookmyscans .com is a largest platform in medical testing in India.
