Introduction
An MRI (or Magnetic Resonance Imaging) scan is a radiology technique that uses a large magnet, radio waves, and a computer to look at organs and structures inside our bodies. Single MRI images are called slices can be stored on a computer or printed on film. An MRI combines images to create a 3-D picture of your internal structures. The MRI scanner is a tube surrounded by a huge circular magnet. The patient is placed on a moveable bed that is inserted into the magnet.
An MRI scanner contains two powerful magnets, which represent the most important part of the equipment. The Human body is largely made of water molecules, which are composed of hydrogen and oxygen atoms. At the centre of each atom lies an even smaller particle called …show more content…
Gadolinium which has unusual magnetic properties could be used for some procedures, as a contrast agents to increase the accuracy of the images.
An MRI scan can be used as an extremely precise method of disease detection throughout the body and is most often used after the other testing fails to provide sufficient information to confirm a patient's diagnosis. In the head, injury to the brain can be seen as bleeding or swelling. Other abnormalities often found include brain aneurysms, stroke, tumours of the brain, as well as tumours or inflammation of the spine.
A special MRI is used to identify the heart issues and it’s a specific type of MRI which we call it Cardiac MRI and will be used especially for myocardial ischemia. Myocardial ischemia occurs when blood flow to your heart is reduced, preventing it from receiving enough oxygen. The reduced blood flow is usually the result of a partial or complete blockage of your heart's arteries (coronary arteries).
Myocardial ischemia, also called cardiac ischemia, can damage your heart muscle, reducing its ability to pump efficiently. A sudden, severe blockage of a coronary artery can lead to a heart attack. Myocardial ischemia might also cause serious abnormal heart
