Unlike X-rays and CT scans, MRIs don’t use damaging radiation. How MRIs Work The MRI is basically a tube-shaped magnet. While you're inside the machine, protons from water in your body get pulled into the magnetic field around you and start to line up. The machine also sends out ...

Healthcare providers may want to see you often or do CT or MRI scans to be sure there is no more bleeding. Medicines are used to prevent seizures, lower swelling, and get rid of extra fluid. A catheter (thin tube) may be placed in your skull to drain fluid. This will help decrease...
IoT can also be used to monitor a facility’s medical technologies and issue performance alerts when they fail or are about to fail, as is the case of e-Alert, a Philips product designed to monitor MRI system performance. A relatively low-intensity failsafe is put in place by issuing mobil...
Unlike other imaging forms like X-rays or CT scans, MRI doesn't use ionizing radiation. MRI is increasingly being used to image fetuses during pregnancy, and no adverse effects on the fetus have been demonstrated, Filippi said. Still, the procedure can have risks, and medical societies don'...
software with the doctor able to override it. However, due to different patient positioning between MRI scans and ultrasound—as well as possible patient movement during the ultrasound exam—there will always be a small degree of mismatch and distortion between the static MRI image and live ...
In my small series of 11 patients, multiple MRI-scans were wasted in 9 of the patients as tumor growth was missed by the standard evaluation with two- dimensional measurements. I strongly urge the use of 3-D segmentation. This is soon likely to become even easier when sufficiently robust ...
For the first time, researchers have managed to use GPT1, precursor to the AI chatbot ChatGPT, to translate MRI imagery into text in an effort to understand what someone is thinking.
is not always easy to do. It’s estimated that 10 to 15 percent of MRI scans need to be redone because of excessive movement during the scan. Too much movement can obscure the findings. Sedation may help reduce movement, but it’s possible you may have to come back for a repeat scan...
