MRI diagnostics

MRI diagnostics hub: indications, preparation, contraindications, contrast safety, and how findings are interpreted.

MRI for melanoma: when it's prescribed, what it shows, and why contrast is needed

Magnetic resonance imaging is not the primary diagnostic method for primary melanoma. Suspicious skin lesions are first assessed clinically and dermatologically, and a definitive diagnosis is made based on histological examination of the tissue.

Endometriosis on Magnetic Resonance Imaging: Signs, Protocol, Accuracy, and Limitations

Magnetic resonance imaging for endometriosis is a visualization method that helps not only "see the lesion" but also map the disease before treatment.

MRI for prostate adenoma: when it's needed, what it shows, and how to interpret the results

Prostate adenoma is a common name for benign prostatic hyperplasia, which is a non-cancerous enlargement of prostate tissue, most often in the transition zone around the urethra.

MRI of the spleen: indications, preparation, contrast, findings, and limitations of the method

Magnetic resonance imaging of the spleen is a non-invasive imaging technique that produces layer-by-layer images of the organ without ionizing radiation.

MRI of the trigeminal nerve: what the test shows, when it is prescribed, and how to interpret the results

In practice, the term "magnetic resonance imaging of the trigeminal nerve" usually refers not to a single image of a small section of the nerve, but to a specialized study of the brain and base of the skull with a thin-slice targeted protocol along the course of the trigeminal nerve.

Contraindications to MRI: What the test prohibits and what requires special preparation

The modern approach to contraindications for magnetic resonance imaging has become noticeably less categorical than 10-15 years ago.

MRI of the femur: what it shows, when it is prescribed, how it is performed

Magnetic resonance imaging of the femur is a study that helps to see not only the external contour of the bone, but also the bone marrow, trabecular structure, periosteum, adjacent muscles, tendons, vascular and inflammatory changes.

Preparing for an Abdominal MRI: What to Eat, Drink, and Bring

Preparation for abdominal magnetic resonance imaging depends not only on the device itself, but also on the purpose of the examination.

MRI of soft tissues: what the test shows, when it is prescribed, and whether contrast is needed

Soft tissue magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) is an imaging technique that uses a powerful magnetic field, radiofrequency pulses, and computer signal processing to produce detailed images of internal structures without ionizing radiation.

Bone marrow MRI: What it shows, when it is prescribed, and how it is interpreted

Bone marrow is not just “filler” inside the bones, but an active tissue where blood cells are formed and where the ratio of hematopoietic and fat components is constantly changing.
