MRIS stands for Magnetic Resonance Imaging System, which refers to a medical imaging technique used to visualize internal structures and functions of the body. It uses a strong magnetic field and radio waves to generate detailed images of the organs, tissues, and structures within the body.
The MRIS machine consists of a large cylinder-shaped magnet, a computer, and a radiofrequency coil that sends and receives the radio waves. The patient lies on a movable table that slides into the big hollow tube of the magnet during the procedure. The magnetic field created by the MRIS aligns the body's hydrogen atoms in a certain way. Once radio waves are directed at these aligned atoms, they emit signals that are detected by the coil and converted into detailed images by the computer.
MRIS is widely used in diagnostic medicine to detect and diagnose various medical conditions and diseases. It is especially effective in providing high-resolution images of soft tissues, such as the brain, spinal cord, heart, joints, and muscles. It can help identify tumors, lesions, blood vessel abnormalities, infections, inflammations, and structural abnormalities.
The MRIS procedure is non-invasive and generally considered safe, with the exception of rare risks associated with the strong magnetic field. However, certain individuals with specific medical conditions or metal implants may not be suitable for MRIS. MRIS is highly valuable in guiding medical treatment decisions, evaluating treatment efficacy, and assisting with surgical planning.
