What is an MRI?
A magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) test is a common procedure used by doctors around the world for the diagnosis of various ailments.
What is the technology used in MRI testing?
An MRI test utilizes magnetic fields and radio waves to create detailed images of any body part. MRI scan is non-invasive and does not cause any pain. MRI tests do not cause any radiation as opposed to X-rays or CT scans.
Magnetic waves used in MRI tests are not stopped by the bones of the body. They interact with the water molecules of the body and create detailed images of tissues and other soft parts like ligaments.
How is the MRI test done?
One has to go inside an MRI machine which looks like a big doughnut with a stretcher coming out of it. The radiologist (technician or doctor who does the MRI test), can control the stretcher to go inside the round-shaped MRI test machine.
There are adults or children who may feel scared as the machine is a closed space. In such cases, an MRI test can be done in an open MRI test machine. But those MRI tests are more expensive.
But the MRI scan has its own limitations. A person with a pacemaker or any kind of metallic implant cannot take an MRI scan due to the electromagnetic pulses used to capture the image. To overcome this limitation a technique called maverick MRI is developed. The maverick MRI is capable of producing a more enhanced image of soft tissues and bones near the metal implants. Learn more about the Maverick MRI and its cost.
How to prepare for an MRI scan?
There is no special preparation required for the MRI scan. But sometimes to produce more enhanced images, a contrast material may be given orally or injected into the vein a few hours before the procedure. In such cases, your doctor may ask you to fast for a minimum of 4 hours prior to the scan.
You will be asked to change into a gown given in the lab. You are restricted to carry objects with metallic contents inside the MRI scanning room.
What are the risks of an MRI scan?
Generally, there are no possible risks or side effects in the MRI scan. MRI scan does not use any kind of X-ray to visualize the internal organs. So it is completely safe because patients are not exposed to any kind of radiation.
But the use of contrast dye may lead to allergic reactions in some patients and it might result in kidney failure if you have any kidney disorders. So it is very important to inform your doctor if you have any known allergic reactions to the contrast dye before the procedure.
How long does it take to get the MRI scan reports?
Normally, the reports will be prepared by the radiologist and will be available within 24 to 48 hours of the procedure.
