Frequently Asked Questions
FAQ

Even while MRI is frequently used to diagnose stenotic carotid arteries, it can also identify features of the actual atherosclerotic plaque, such as its size, makeup, and activity. These characteristics are known as extra stroke risk factors that are practically attainable through clinical acquisition.

MRI can diagnose heart stroke in the early phase even in those who don't have any history or symptoms of heart disease.

The clinical diagnosis of ischemic stroke can be made fast thanks to MR using diffusion imaging, which can non-invasively detect ischemia alterations and be achieved in 10 minutes at some locations.

Less than 50% carotid artery narrowing is seen as a typical aspect of ageing. There is a modest risk of stroke associated with carotid arteries narrowing between 50 and 70%, but it should still be watched. Over 70% carotid artery narrowing carries a 2-4% annual risk of stroke (10-20% over five years).

An echocardiogram is a kind of ultrasonography test that produces images of the heart's valves and blood flow. An MRI of the heart can provide clearer pictures of the organ and provide additional information about its size, shape, volume, and functions.

Since MRI doesn't employ ionising radiation, there are no negative effects associated with radiation. Although the scan is thought to be safe, if you have any metal implants, then you should avoid MRI scans.

MRI is a safe diagnostic method which does not use ionising radiation exposure.

It is a non- invasive diagnostic technique

Provides detailed images, so that doctors can examine the internal body structures for any structural abnormalities.

It also provides better soft tissue contrast than any other imaging methods.

 

  • Some patients may have an allergic reaction to the contrast dye used in the scan.
  • Some people may feel anxious or suffer from claustrophobia (the dread of small places) as a result of the scanner's small size.
  • People with metal in their bodies, such as those with implants, are at risk from the magnetic field of the MRI equipment.

Pacemakers

Pierces on the body

medication pumps

dental work, including fillings

insulin-producing pump

metal limbs or joints

Cochlear implants

synthetic heart valves

  • As it is unclear how magnetic fields would affect the developing foetus, pregnant women should avoid MRIs.
  • The machine’s loud noises could damage your hearing.

An MRI of the heart carries some hazards, such as allergic reactions to contrast dye, metal injury, renal damage, and hearing loss.
