Magnetic Resonance Imaging01:24

Magnetic Resonance Imaging

Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) is a noninvasive medical imaging technique based on a phenomenon of nuclear physics discovered in the 1930s, in which matter exposed to magnetic fields and radio waves was found to emit radio signals. In 1970, a physician and researcher named Raymond Damadian noticed that malignant (cancerous) tissue gave off different signals than normal body tissue. He applied for a patent for the first MRI scanning device in clinical use by the early 1980s. The early MRI...

Imaging Studies IV: Magnetic Resonance Imaging

Introduction:Magnetic Resonance Imaging, or MRI, can include a specialized imaging technique of the urinary system known as Magnetic Resonance Urography (MRU). This radiation-free technique uses strong magnetic fields and radio waves to produce detailed images with the help of a computer. MRU is particularly effective for visualizing fluid-filled structures like the kidneys, ureters, and bladder.Applications of MRI in the Genitourinary SystemKidneys and Ureters: MRI detects tumors, cysts,...

Area of Science:

  • Medical imaging
  • Fetal development
  • Orthopedics

Background:

  • Abnormal fetal hip development requires early detection for favorable outcomes.
  • Embryological hip development is well-studied, but fetal stage data is limited.
  • Postmortem MRI offers a potential advancement for studying fetal hip development.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To evaluate the utility of magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) in assessing fetal hip development.

Main Methods:

  • A cross-sectional study involving 30 patients (17-42 weeks gestation).
  • Measurements included acetabular width/depth and femoral head radius/diameter.
  • Calculations of volume and area were performed.

Main Results:

  • Hip dimensions, except acetabular width, grew exponentially after 20 weeks gestation.
  • Acetabular width showed slow growth despite femoral head changes.
  • High observer agreement was noted for most measurements.

Conclusions:

  • MRI findings align with previous postmortem studies.
  • MRI is a viable alternative for assessing fetal hip development.
  • MRI can aid in early detection of abnormal hip development for prompt intervention.
