Gadolinium-based contrast agents, based on their paramagnetic properties, act on the protons of water molecules, which contain hydrogen (H) atoms – a basic element in magnetic resonance imaging techniques, contributing to changing the contrast of the examined tissue.

Initial assessment of the cervical spine should begin with an assessment of the general appearance. What is the general or overall condition of the spine, as seen on sagittal, coronal images.

The MRI method for anal fistula follows some general principles of MRI, which is the removal of metal devices/objects carried in the body. You will be asked to make sure that you do not wear metal devices after surgery or implant electronic devices affected by strong magnetic fields.

Brain MRI is considered the most optimal non-invasive method of evaluating the brain. It has special value in diagnosing diseases of the pituitary gland and brain stem. It helps detect and evaluate many diseases or abnormalities of the brain, especially brain tumors due to clear, detailed images, and the ability to observe the brain vessels without injecting contrast agents. Brain pathologies are extremely diverse and complex, so reading the results of brain MRI with a specialist who has a good understanding of knowledge and imaging anatomy must follow a certain order to avoid missing lesions.

Department of Diagnostic Imaging - Vinmec Nha Trang International General Hospital. Gadolinium-based contrast agents, based on the paramagnetic properties, act on the protons of water molecules, substances containing Hydrogen (H) atoms - a basic element in magnetic resonance imaging techniques, contributing to changing the contrast of the examined tissue.

The advantage of magnetic resonance imaging is that it can detect early and accurately fetal and placental pathologies that are not detected by ultrasound or are suspicious by ultrasound. Magnetic resonance accurately assesses the severity of placenta accreta.

1.5 tesla magnetic resonance imaging machine or 1.5 tesla MRI machine is the most commonly used generation of magnetic resonance imaging machine in basic imaging examinations. 1.5 tesla MRI machine has many outstanding advantages over previous types of machines, so it is used in diagnosing diseases in many different organ systems in the body.

Whole body MRI angiography is an advanced paraclinical method, increasingly widely used because of its many benefits. Patients are not exposed to X-rays like in CT scans, the procedure is not too complicated but the cost is still quite high.

Diagnostic imaging allows doctors to look inside a patient’s body for signs of disease. Because each machine has a different structure and function to create images of the patient’s internal structures and activities, the type of diagnostic imaging equipment a doctor will use depends on the patient’s symptoms and which parts of the body need to be examined.

Magnetic Resonance Imaging of the orbit and optic nerve with contrast injection is a modern diagnostic imaging technique that creates clear images of the orbit and optic nerve that other diagnostic imaging methods cannot create, helping to diagnose eye diseases, retrobulbar diseases, optic nerve tumors, etc.

Contrast-enhanced chest MRI is one of the valuable diagnostic methods in lung, mediastinal and chest wall diseases. In pathological lesions that require examination to clarify the lesion and assess the level of blood supply, contrast-enhanced chest MRI can help clearly identify the requirements for examination of blood vessel distribution and tissue perfusion. So what is the procedure for contrast-enhanced chest MRI?
