THOSE ANYONE KNOW WHATS AN MRI. MY DOCTOR TOLL ME SHE GOING TO SEND ME TO GET ONE DONE MRI? I NEED A ANSWER PLEASE?

Answer 1

an MRI is a scan to look inside the body. You lay on this bed looking thing and it takes you inside a tube and takes your picture inside your body kind of like an X-ray just more advanced

Answer 2

Magnetic Resonance Imaging.

the basic design used in most is a giant cube. The cube in a typical system might be 7 feet tall by 7 feet wide by 10 feet long (2 m by 2 m by 3 m), although new models are rapidly shrinking. There is a horizontal tube running through the magnet from front to back. This tube is known as the bore of the magnet. The patient, lying on his or her back, slides into the bore on a special table. Whether or not the patient goes in head first or feet first, as well as how far in the magnet they will go, is determined by the type of exam to be performed. MRI scanners vary in size and shape, and newer models have some degree of openness around the sides, but the basic design is the same. Once the body part to be scanned is in the exact center or isocenter of the magnetic field, the scan can begin.
In conjunction with radio wave pulses of energy, the MRI scanner can pick out a very small point inside the patient's body and ask it, essentially, "What type of tissue are you?" The point might be a cube that is half a millimeter on each side. The MRI system goes through the patient's body point by point, building up a 2-D or 3-D map of tissue types. It then integrates all of this information together to create 2-D images or 3-D models.

MRI provides an unparalleled view inside the human body. The level of detail we can see is extraordinary compared with any other imaging modality. MRI is the method of choice for the diagnosis of many types of injuries and conditions because of the incredible ability to tailor the exam to the particular medical question being asked. By changing exam parameters, the MRI system can cause tissues in the body to take on different appearances. This is very helpful to the radiologist (who reads the MRI) in determining if something seen is normal or not. We know that when we do "A," normal tissue will look like "B" -- if it doesn't, there might be an abnormality. MRI systems can also image flowing blood in virtually any part of the body. This allows us to perform studies that show the arterial system in the body, but not the tissue around it. In many cases, the MRI system can do this without a contrast injection, which is required in vascular radiology.

Answer 3

Giant hot needles will be twisted into your head, neak, and groin. About 100K volts will go through you to ease the pain. Most people don't remember at all or remember a painless pleasant experience. But the needles are really hot and I could still smell the burnt flesh when I woke up. My butthole ached a bit.

Answer 4

it is a special type of xray,where they put in a machine to do the xray some things don't fully show on a regular xray don't panic ask them to give you something to keep you calm,a lot of people can't stand being closed in;also if your allergies to iodine you better them them it's food in certain types of sea food, there is a medicine you have to take before the xray if you are because a lot of time they used a die for contrast

Answer 5

It's kind of like an xray of the entire body. You lay down and they slide you into this big capsule that takes xrays of your whole body.
