Helpful Information regarding the imaging services we provide.

What is an MRI?
An MRI scan is used to help diagnose a wide variety of medical conditions that affect soft tissue structures and organs in the body. Common conditions consist of joint injuries or pain in joints, diagnosis of masses in tissue, spinal injuries and related conditions with the spine.

Depending on the area, it may be necessary to inject a dye so the tissues show up more clearly. This dye is completely different than dye used in other studies. Reactions to MRI dye are extremely rare.

The MRI uses radio waves and a magnetic field to provide detailed images of particular parts of the body. There is no exposure to x-ray radiation with an MRI.

Why MRI?
Generally speaking, MRI provides more detailed images than other scans, particularly of the brain and circulatory system, and is better at showing differences between various types of tissue in spine and joints. It is the best radiology study for ligaments and cartilage of the joints. It may compliment CT in clarifying abnormalities of the liver, kidneys, and other 'solid' organs. It is great for seeing if bones are infected. Unlike other scans, MRI images can be taken from almost any angle without moving the person around.

What is a CT scan?
You have been given an appointment for a computed tomography (CT) scan. If this is your first CT scan, you will, of course, have many questions on your mind: What can I expect before, during and after such a procedure?

Your doctor will also be glad to inform you about the procedure. But first of all, one thing is certain: a CT examination is fast, straightforward and painless. So there is no need to worry about your CT appointment. CT is a radiological method which has been used since 1974 to visualize certain regions of your body slice by slice. Today, CT technology is an indispensable tool in medicine. It is used for routine examinations of the entire body.

Why CT?
CT can assist in:

• Detecting strokes, head injuries, herniated discs, abscesses
• Locating fractures
• Determining the extent of bone and soft tissue damage in trauma patients; in such cases it is especially helpful to have an imaging procedure which allows a fast first diagnosis
• Diagnosing changes in various organs
• Examination of the heart and of the coronary vessels
• Early diagnosing of lung and intestinal cancer Categories:   Diagnostic Services | Radiologists
