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,...

Imaging Studies I: CT and MRI

Introduction: MRI and CT scans are crucial advancements in medical imaging techniques, playing a vital role in diagnosing conditions related to the gastrointestinal (GI) system. Each scan serves distinct purposes, targets specific areas, and requires unique nursing duties.
Description of the Procedures
Computed Tomography (CT) scan:
Computed Tomography (CT) scans use X-ray technology to generate detailed images of bones, organs, and tissues. During the scan, the patient lies on a moving table...

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...

Summary

Multiple myeloma (MM) is a plasma cell cancer. This review covers advanced imaging techniques like CT and MRI for diagnosing, assessing, and monitoring MM, moving beyond traditional skeletal surveys.

Area of Science:

  • Hematology
  • Oncology
  • Radiology

Background:

  • Multiple myeloma (MM) is a cancer of plasma cells in the bone marrow.
  • It causes bone lesions and monoclonal protein, with skeletal surveys as a traditional diagnostic tool.
  • Extraosseous MM involvement is less common.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To review the evidence for advanced imaging in multiple myeloma.
  • To cover diagnosis, prognosis, complication assessment, and treatment response evaluation.
  • To highlight the shift from skeletal surveys to CT, MRI, and functional imaging.

Main Methods:

  • Comprehensive literature review.
  • Analysis of evidence for computed tomography (CT), magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), and functional imaging.
