MRI Solutions At-A-Glance

If you have any types of ailments which involve the soft and semi-soft tissues of the body, then MRI is the best diagnostic tool to examine the problem.

MRI is ideal for, but not limited to:

• Diagnosing Multiple Sclerosis-MS
• Diagnosing tumours of the pituitary gland or brain
• Diagnosing infections in the brain, spine or joints
• Diagnosing tendonitis
• Visualizing torn ligaments in the joints.
• Evaluating bone tumours, cysts, and bulging
• Evaluating herniated discs in the spine
• Evaluating masses in the soft tissues of the body

MRI Exams are not recommended for:

• Patients with pacemaker
• Patients with ferromagnetic orthopaedic hardware

Breast Cancer Screening

MRI is the best insurance a health-conscious woman can obtain. It is more comprehensive, more reliable, and more comfortable that X-ray mammography. MRI is strongly recommended for women with a high risk of breast cancer. The advantages include:

• No radiation dose
• No clamping, compressing or stretching
• Identification of tumours that are undetectable by x-ray
• More precise measurements of identified tumours
• Fewer false-positive results

Magnetic Resonance Imaging is particularly effective because it does not only examine the physical characteristics of breast tissue, but also studies how the tissue behaves. And because it does not involve radiation, MRI is safe for women younger than 40 and allows for more frequent screenings for those at high risk.

When you use breast examination, mammography, and MRI in combination, you can significantly increase your chances of early detection of breast cancer.

Patients With Special Needs

Most MRI scanners are short bore tunnel types and tight for extra large people and pregnant women. If you are severely claustrophobic, you should ask for a mild dose of sedative prior to your MRI exam.

Disadvantages

You cannot have an MRI if you have a pacemaker. Some orthopaedic hardware may interfere with the images.
