A Detailed View About The Functioning Of Breast MRI.

Now you are well aware of how MRI is “performed”.
But do you know that how does the procedure work? If you do not, then read the space below written specially for you.

Magnetic resonance imaging is different from X-ray or Computed Tomography as unlike them, it involves no radiation. Instead of that, it involves radio-waves which realign hydrogen atoms that already exist within your body. This method does bring about any changes in the structure of the cells. Emitted from hydrogen atoms is different amount of energy (which depends upon the type of tissue in which they were in) on their return. This energy acts as a piece of information that aids the scanner in forming a picture when the scanner captures it.

The magnetic field is produced in MRI units by induction of electric field through coils made up of wire. Moreover, the electric current produced during the process comes in no way in direct with the body of patient.

The signals are produced which are processed by the computer thereby creating several images which allow the radiologist to study the case from different angles. In this way, MRI becomes able to detect a defected tissue, hinting at abnormality.
