MRI

Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) is a non-invasive medical imaging technique that uses powerful magnetic fields and radio waves to create detailed images of the organs, tissues, and structures inside the body. Unlike X-rays or CT scans, MRI does not use ionizing radiation, making it a safer option for certain patients, especially during pregnancy. The MRI scanner works by generating a strong magnetic field that aligns the hydrogen atoms in the body. When radiofrequency pulses are applied, these atoms are temporarily knocked out of alignment. As they return to their original state, they emit signals that are detected by the MRI machine and converted into high-resolution images. MRI is widely used for imaging the brain, spinal cord, muscles, joints, heart, and other internal organs. It is particularly valuable in diagnosing conditions like tumors, brain disorders, spinal cord injuries, joint problems, and cardiovascular diseases. The procedure is generally painless, though patients must remain still during the scan, which can last from 15 to 90 minutes, depending on the area being examined. Kaihan Curative Hospital is proud to offer an advanced MRI unit, ensuring that patients receive the most accurate and detailed diagnostic imaging for a wide range of medical conditions.
