Open MRI Equipment
Open MRI equipment lessens the stress and anxiety associated with medical imaging. Magnetic resonance imaging is required to help diagnose numerous medical conditions. These conditions include diseases of the lymph nodes, bladder, and pancreas. In addition to these conditions, MRI images can detect issues with the liver and kidneys.
MRI imaging can provide a clear view of the abdomen, blood vessels, brain, chest, and pelvis. Further, doctors can use them to scan the brain, skeleton, spine, and joints.
Magnetic resonance angiography can generate pictures of arteries to evaluate for stenosis. Moreover, they can analyze arterial passages to see if they are at risk of an aneurysm.
An arthrogram may be ordered to diagnose joint alterations. A series of x-rays are taken, and these can analyze alterations in a joint’s structure. Therefore, arthrograms can be beneficial when exploring new treatment avenues.
MRI Axial Loading System
Standard MRI and CT scans rely on patients resting in the recumbent position. This system puts a load on the patient’s spinal column, which is not accounted for in standard imaging. Axial loading systems incorporated into the scans solve this issue. They introduce an axial load, simulating the typical effects of gravity. Moreover, they can simulate situations similar to lifting a weight on the spine.
Axial Loading of the Lumbar Spine
Doctors can acquire accurate images using an axial loading system. Therefore, they can produce more accurate diagnoses of patient conditions. Spine surgeons require precise scans to do their jobs well. Further, these loading systems equip them with appropriate information.
