That time saved might not seem like a lot, but it adds up. The time it takes to conduct an MRI scan varies depending on what body part doctors are trying to examine and the condition they're trying to diagnose.
Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) is a technique that produces cross-sectional images of a patient's body, using magnetism and radio waves.1 Here we discuss advantages and disadvantages of MRI scans and practical issues for clinicians and patients.BMJDrug & Therapeutics Bulletin...
For further analysis, patients were divided into two groups, a training group and a validation group, depending on whether the MRI scan was performed before or after April 30, 2022. MR-imaging protocol MRI was performed using a 3 T scanner (MAGNETOM Spectra; Siemens Healthcare, Erlangen, Germ...
Respiratory motion can impact the efficacy and safety of radiation therapy in the thorax and abdomen. For treatments using an MRI-guided linac, free-breathing 4D-MRI is a promising alternative to 4D-CT for motion management, providing excellent soft-tissue contrast with no ionizing radiation. High...
It can detect brain tumor though contour detection with given MRI scan. - Fazeel-AIML/Brain_Tumor_Detection
directions were encoded, and the total scan time was approximately 2 h. The diffusion tensor and its four quantitative indices, axial diffusivity (AD), radial diffusivity (RD), mean diffusivity (MD), and fractional anisotropy (FA)28were reconstructed from the acquired data by using an in-house...
One way to do that is to only biopsy men who have a suspicious lesion on an MRI scan, and only sample the lesion instead of systematically taking pieces from all around the prostate, which is typical. This is the route that University of Gothenburg’s Hugosson tested in the NEJM study....
Patients with an age of less than 18 years or general MRI exclusion criteria were excluded. 2.3. Study protocol 2.3.1. MRI scan We performed a structural MRI scan in all patients (3 T MR scanner Achieva, Philips Medical System, Netherlands B.V.) according to the standard MRI protocol...

For unjustified and potentially justified referrals, an alternative imaging method was proposed. Since data providers request generic brain CT for related referrals, i.e., non-contrast CT, contrast-enhanced CT, CT angiography, etc., the justification and alternative imaging were considered in the ...
