MRI for Esophageal Cancer
Short for Magnetic Resonance Imaging, MRI is one of the innovative technologies used by Cancer Treatment Centers of America (CTCA) to assist with esophageal cancer diagnosis. Able to precisely pinpoint the location of esophageal cancer cells within your body, MRI uses magnetic energy and radio waves to create cross-sectional images or "slices" of the human body. The main component of most MRI systems is a large tube-shaped or cylindrical magnet.
Additionally, MRI helps CTCA radiologists and other specialists determine the best esophageal cancer treatment for you by identifying your disease’s exact stage. By isolating the stage of your cancer, our experts are better able to effectively target and customize your treatment plan.
