What are the benefits of an MRI?
– MRI can help physicians evaluate the function as well as the structure of many organs. The detail makes MRI an invaluable tool in early diagnosis and evaluation of tumors. MRI contrast material is less likely to produce an allergic reaction than the iodine-based materials used for conventional x-rays and CT scanning. MRI enables the detection of abnormalities that might be obscured by bone with other imaging methods. MRI provides a fast, noninvasive alternative to x-ray angiography for diagnosing problems of the vascular system.
