MRI-Magnetic resonance imaging
The magnetic resonance imaging, or shortened – MRI, is used to analyze different layers of the human body and are visible on a piece of a special foil after the procedure has been finished. The devices used in this process are recording signals that originate from cores of hydrogen atoms found inside a human body which is placed into an intensive, homogenous magnetic field. How does the MRI work The MRI devices forward the received signal to a computer which analyzes the data and transforms it to a visible spectrum on a computer screen, showing the scanned area in full detail and in multiple layers. As technology used in the mri recording originates from magnets, this method is far less hazardous for human health in comparison with radiology methods, where x-rays are used, where the tissue becomes warm to a certain extent, meaning it’s being damaged. With the MRI methods, the tissue is warmed by far less and is acceptable in regard to the SAR (specific absorption rate) standards. Special care is needed when scanning pregnant women, as the procedure might damage the placenta or fetus, but this hasn’t been proven yet and is taken as a precaution measure. The costs of MRI devices and check ups The price of the MRI devices depends on the power of the magnetic field [...]
