This article will discuss cancers detected by MRI scans, cancers detected by MRI and some questions related to MRI scans.
Why is an MRI scan used in Cancer Detection?
MRI (Magnetic Resonance Imaging) scan is a non-invasive radiological procedure, that uses magnetic fields with radiowaves to create images of the affected area and help to detection of cancer. MRI is more effective in detecting cancers of soft tissues, the spinal cord, the brain, the musculoskeletal system etc. MRI also uses contrast to get clear images of the area for easy and early detection of abnormalities. MRI is a fast and cost-effective test for detecting cancers. Remove all metal items or alert any metal implants before going for the MRI.
