Cardiovascular conditions:An MRI scan can help diagnose cardiovascular conditions by providing detailed images of the heart, blood vessels, and surrounding tissues. An MRI can detect heart disease, heart defects, damage caused by a heart attack, aortic aneurysms and blockages in blood vessels. ...
Professor Paul Workman, Chief Executive of The Institute of Cancer Research, London, said: "It's exciting that we've shown that a scan widely used to image the heart has the potential to greatly improve our understanding and treatment of cancer too. There is already a lot of experience in...
"It's exciting that we've shown that a scan widely used to image the heart has the potential to greatly improve our understanding and treatment of cancer too. There is already a lot of experience in using this technique in NHS hospitals, and I hope we can rapidly move to assessing its ...
The article focuses on a study by Simon Robinson and his colleagues regarding the use of magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) scans to show who is at risk of a heart attack. An MRI scan can see inside the body without risk, but does not provide enough resolution to image artery walls ...
The MRI scanner creates a strong magnetic field inside your body. A computer takes the signals from the MRI and uses them to make a series of pictures. Each picture shows a thin slice of your body. A technician sits behind a window during the scan to see the images on the screen. They...

Due to the powerful magnetic force involved in producing an MRI scan, some individuals cannot have an MRI scan. These include individuals with:A cardiac (heart) pacemaker Certain clips in the brain from brain operations, i.e. aneurysm clips A cochlear (ear) implant A metallic foreign body in...
What is an MRI Scan? Magnetic Resonance Imaging, otherwise known as MRI, is used to take images of the body's organs without producing X-rays. What happens when you arrive for your scan? When you arrive at our Diagnostic and Imaging Centre you will be greeted ...
A 5D whole-heart sparse imaging framework is proposed for simultaneous assessment of myocardial function and high-resolution cardiac and respiratory motion-resolved whole-heart anatomy in a single continuous noncontrast MR scan.A non-electrocardiograph (ECG)-triggered 3D golden-angle radial balanced stead...
An MRI scan (magnetic resonance imaging) uses magnetism and radio frequencies to create images from within the body. It is a much different technology than X-ray or CT scan because no radiation that penetrates the body is used.
