A community portal about Magnetic resonance imaging with blogs, videos, and photos. According to Wikipedia.org: Magnetic Resonance Imaging , formerly referred to as Magnetic Resonance Tomography or, in chemistry, Nuclear Magnetic Resonance , is a method used to visualize the inside of living organisms as well as to detect the composition of geological structures. It is primarily used to demonstrate pathological or other physiological alterations of living tissues and is a commonly used form of medical imaging. MRI has also found many novel applications outside of the medical and biological fields such as rock permeability to hydrocarbons and certain non-destructive testing methods such as produce and timber quality characterization. The scanners used in medicine cost approximately $1 million USD per Tesla for each unit, with several hundred thousand dollars per year for maintenance. A man from Fraserburgh, Scotland, with terminal liver cancer become the first patient in the world to receive an MRI body scan in Aberdeen, U.K.
Did you know the hospital in your community might suffer from a shortage of trained radiographers, more commonly known as x-ray technician? It's true: the medical field needs more trained x-ray technician now. Demand for various kinds of radiologic technologists, including x-ray techs, is escalating with the aging of the baby-boomer population and rapid advances in diagnostic imaging. That means career opportunities for graduates of x-ray technician schools are surging at hospitals...

According to Med Page Today Gadolinium is a contrast agent that helps distinguish between normal and abnormal tissue in the body when used with magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) and/or CT scans. Gadolinium was approved for use in 1988 and has been used in millions of studies since. It is the preferred contrast agent for people with chronic kidney disease. The use of iodine-containing contrast agents is still a common cause of hospital-acquired acute renal failure and is associated with...
