Magnetic resonance imaging is currently a relatively safe and high-precision diagnostic procedure that allows to determine the condition of the soft tissues, abdominal organs, pelvis, joints, cartilages, intervertebral cartilages and brain.
CT and MRI for children: features of the procedure. Is there a health risk, at what age can it be used? How do young children tolerate the procedure? Features of MRI of the brain.
MRI allows to obtain quality images using radio waves and a powerful magnet. Images obtained using such a diagnostic technique can show the difference between normal and diseased tissue.
Computed tomography (CT) allows for the acquisition of radiological images of the abdominal organs (liver, pancreas, gallbladder, spleen, stomach, and intestines), as well as the organs of the retroperitoneal space – kidneys, adrenal glands, blood vessels, and lymph nodes.
