results. Imaging modalities have varying complexities that contribute images of different anatomical detail and sensitivity. The modalities show different aspects of the body, which allow for clarity of diagnosis. Computed tomography (CT), fluoroscopy, magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), mammography, x-rays, positron emission tomography (PET), and ultrasound are the most common radiology exams. Each type provides different ways of diagnosing, monitoring, and screening the body for disease or…

brain, correct major aesthetic deformities or both (Pompili et al., 1998). Today, three-dimensional (3D) models of anatomical structures can be constructed based on anatomical information from scanning data coming from computerized tomography (CT). Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) data is used to 3D modelling of soft tissues and computerized tomography (CT) for Hard tissues (i.e. bone) of the human body. The fact is face is a symmetrical structure, so abnormalities on one side of the face or…

1.Please explain how medical magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) exploits the magnetic properties of the nucleus. MRI exploits the process known as nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR). In fact the technique used to be called simply NMR or NMR imaging, but the “nuclear” was dropped because of the connotation of radiation hazards from unstable nuclear sources, although there is no logical rationale for such fear. In NMR, a sample of material is placed in a strong magnetic field. The nuclei in the sample…

Tesla was an inventor, engineer and physicist who found the Rotating Magnetic Field. This brought to light the idea that the opposite poles of a magnetic field rotate around an axis, changing direction at a constant rate with specific angles. Combining Tesla’s discovery with modern technology, the MRI machine was created. The acronym MRI stands for Magnetic Resonance Imaging, but in some places, it is called Nuclear Magnetic Resonance Imaging. This machine is used commonly in medicine to…

Neuroimaging is a technique that produce images of brain without any direct contact with the inside of the body such as internal surgery, incision of the skin. Neuroimaging technology become a powerful tool for both research and medical diagnosis. Because these technologies enable noninvasive visualization of the structure and functional segments of the brain. The field of neuroimaging has advanced rapidly day by day due to the development in technology and computational methods. The…

Numerous studies have been conducted on MRI being a useful tool in prenatal imaging of the posterior fossa. Gurbaud (2004) suggests that MRI is useful as a complementary investigation to US in three particular situations. Ranchod, Androniko, & Modi, (2012) detail 4 case studies where MRI was used to diagnose specific posterior fossa abnormalities after having an US. This paper examines research done to examine the posterior fossa in prenatal brains with the use of US and fetal MRI. Literature…

Magnetic resonance imaging uses non-aggressive magnetic imaging technology to produce a three dimensional image of a bodily part. This is similar yet different to the use of x-ray imaging for similar purposes, however, MRI has no trace of the damaging ionizing radiation given off during the use of x-rays and CT scans. MRI is generally used for inspection and detection in the muscles, ligaments and soft tissue through the human body and can be used to monitor treatments, diagnosis of a patient…

the back office and preparing the patients before getting an MRI. Working in the front is a great job, but it is a means to an end for me. I need something more challenging, something that catches my interest and will keep me on my toes every day. Magnetic Resonance Imaging is what I want to do, as I started to research going to school and talking with my coworkers The Gurnick Academy is what caught my…

magnets. When the magnetic field makes the spinning protons wiggle, the stronger the magnetic field, the faster the wiggle. Nuclei wiggle at roughly 50 million times per second. If a proton is excited by some energy like a radio wave it will send that energy back as a radio signal that is slightly detectable. A MRI is basically a strong magnet, radio transmitter and receiver, as well as electronics to organize or coordinate their operation. The magnet creates the strong magnetic field, stronger…

location of eloquent areas adjacent to the tumor, which revolutionized DLGG approach. The most important techniques include functional MRI (fMRI), magnetoencephalography , white fiber tractography by Diffusion tension imaging (DTI) and transcranial magnetic stimulation. (41,48) fMRI is a noninvasive imaging modality that uses cortical blood flow changes as a tracer for increased or decreased neuronal activity, thus allowing cortical mapping when the patients perform specific tasks. One should…
