The advancements in medical imaging technology continue to improve and create substantial benefits to our health and longevity. Magnetic resonance imaging ( MRI ) and its ability to create a highly detailed picture of the soft tissue in our bodies give the doctor a substantial ability to diagnose and give a prognosis of our health.
According to the American Heart Association, venous thromboembolism (VTE) affects 300,000 to 600,000 Americans annually. Symptoms of a blood clot include pain or cramping, swelling, tenderness, warmth to the touch, and bluish- or red-colored skin. Blood clots in the heart include chest and left arm pain, sweating, and difficulty breathing. The most common symptoms of blood clots in the lungs include shortness of breath or difficulty breathing, chest pain, and cough.
If you are suffering from gastrointestinal issues, many different imaging tests can be beneficial in diagnosing diseases of the digestive system. Standard imaging tests for gastric conditions include MRIs, CT scans, and ultrasound. Recent advances in magnetic resonance imaging ( MRI) have become a viable alternative to CT scan.
Magnetic resonance imaging is used in radiology to see pictures of specific anatomy of your body. In some cases, the found results and images produced by an MRI can be a lifesaver - especially when it involves your brain.
Staying healthy is a top priority for most Americans. Sometimes health issues can be more complicated and require the use of medical technology to diagnose underlying conditions. Ultrasound is a great tool that gives doctors great insight into your body.
