All you need to know before getting an MRI Scan
The MRI Scan or the Magnetic Resonance Imaging Scan is a highly effective diagnostic procedure that produces high quality images of the human body. It is vastly different from an X-ray or a CT scan as it does not harm you in the long run.
Why must you go for an MRI Scan over an X-Ray or a CT brain scan?
- It is a non-radioactive imaging approach for advanced diagnosis which has no serious adverse effects.
- The MRI brain scan incorporates a variety of complex imaging sequences to perfectly match your concerns.
- Soft tissue delineation is significantly better with MRI than with CT scans and X-rays.
MRI Scan Cost
An MRI scan test price is based upon a few parameters, including the consumables used, the number of films used, and the amount of time necessary. However, note that if your physician’s prescription includes the words “CEMRI” or “Contrast,” you’ll need a Contrast-Enhanced MRI Scan which will require further preparations.
What is an MRI Scan with Contrast?
While MRI scans produce clear images of high-density organs in the body, organs with a low-density can be challenging to detect. You may be given a distinctive ‘Contrast Material’ – either through injection or orally to make the examined organs stand out sharper in the Scan results.
When might your doctor suggest an MRI Scan?
- Thoracic, abdominal, and pelvic tumors
- Biliary tract anomalies, liver cirrhosis, and pancreatitis
- Inflammatory bowel disease (IBD)
- Abnormalities of the cardiovascular system and vascular inflammation
Benefits of an MRI Scan
- It is a non-invasive and painless imaging procedure
- It does not require contact with radiation.
- It is a more accurate diagnostic procedure for soft-tissue parts, like the liver and heart.
- It is useful in detecting cancer, cardiovascular diseases, bone and muscle problems.
- The bile duct can be assessed using an MRI scan as it is non-invasive and does not require contrast injections.
- It is a benign alternative to X-Ray, Angiography, and CT for Cardiovascular anomalies
