The use of magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) has increased significantly in the paediatric population in recent years. This growth is attributed to faster imaging protocols and the desire to minimise unnecessary radiation exposure from CT scans. However, patients may encounter barriers, predominantly the unavailability of staff and scanners,...Read more

On October 6, 2023, the official opening of the magnetic resonance imaging laboratory at the General Hospital took place. Witold Ginel in Grajewo. We had the pleasure of taking part in this celebration. The studio was consecrated and a red and white ribbon was symbolically cut. The ceremony began with a speech and welcome by the Hospital...Read more

A study of more than 135 million imaging exams, published in the Journal of the American Medical Association, has shown that computerised tomography (CT), magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) and other scans have been increasing in use. Researchers from UC San Francisco, UC Davis and Kaiser Permanente showed that despite efforts to reduce imaging in medicine...Read more

Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) plays a key role in evaluating and classifying the extent of muscle injuries in athletic players. While the use of MRI is clear in diagnosis, and for follow-up of injuries, there is some limitation in its ability to predict return to play (RTP) based on current MRI classification systems, according to a review published...Read more

Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) facilities are important sources of multiple exposure to electromagnetic fields for both patients and healthcare staff. In an exploratory study, researchers conducted an exposure assessment and biomonitoring of MRI workers at the Radio-diagnostics Unit of the National Cancer Institute of Naples “Pascale Foundation”...Read more

Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) has high specificity but limited sensitivity for the diagnosis of pulmonary embolism (PE), according to a systematic review published in the journal Thrombosis Research. Given these inconclusive results, researchers say management studies are needed to more precisely define the role of MRI in the diagnostic workup...Read more

Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) is one of the most effective tools used by doctors today to detect diseases and injuries. However, MRI scans can take hours or days to be interpreted and analysed and if there is a need for a detailed investigation, patients may be required to come back for a follow-up.

Magnetic resonance (MR) imaging is a useful imaging tool with superior soft tissue contrast for diagnostic evaluation and no radiation hazard. However, unexpected biological effects can occur within stronger magnetic fields used in newer MR systems, according to a review published in European Journal of Radiology.
