A magnetic resonance imaging scan is a technique performed by radiologists that involves using magnetism, radio waves and computers to produce detailed images of the body’s internal structures, including tissues, muscles, arteries, bones and unusual growths. A number of patients credit the MRI scan with the discovery of an existing medical condition they never knew

Most people will experience a Magnetic Resonance Imaging MRI at some point in their lives. Whether it’s to assess a broken bone or get a closer look at soft tissue, this imaging technology is one of the best tools health practitioners have to determine the damage done inside the body. This simple test is very

FLAIR can detect many cortical and juxtacortical lesions in MS, which were appreciated previously in autopsy studies but usually missed by magnetic resonance imaging during life. Cortical and juxtacortical plaque formation may contribute to cortical atrophy in MS. - Arch Neurol. 2001;58:742-748.

... myocardial injury. The prognostic value of procedural myocardial injury is uncertain. Methods and results: We quantified procedural myocardial necrosis using delayed enhancement cardiovascular magnetic resonance imaging (DE-CMR) in 152 consecutive patients before and shortly after percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) or ...

Objectives: To assess the prevalence and patterns of cardiac abnormalities as detected by cardiac magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) in systemic sclerosis (SSc). Methods: Fifty-two consecutive patients with SSc underwent cardiac MRI to determine morphological, functional, perfusion at rest and delayed ...
