Advanced Diagnostics: MRI
Our cancer doctors use MRI, or magnetic resonance imaging, for cancer diagnosis, staging, and treatment planning.
The main component of most MRI systems is a large tube-shaped or cylindrical magnet.
Using non-ionizing radiofrequency waves, powerful magnets, and a computer, this technology produces detailed, cross-sectional pictures of the inside of the body.
With MRI, we can distinguish between normal and diseased tissue to precisely pinpoint cancerous cells within the body. It is also useful in revealing metastases.
Additionally, the MRI system provides greater contrast between the different soft tissues of the body than a CT scan. Thus, it is especially useful for imaging the brain, spine, muscle, connective tissue, and the inside of bones.
