The Questions You Should Ask Your Diagnostic Imaging Center Before an MRI Screening
Diagnostic imaging can be used to investigate medical cases caused by physical trauma or medical conditions. Although a patient can have a test or screening performed at a hospital, a private diagnostic imaging center may be the most suitable screening site. More specifically, magnetic resonance imaging (or MRI) is a form of diagnostic imaging used to develop images of human organs, tissues, and structures at a diagnostic imaging center.
Not surprisingly, patients may inquire about their upcoming MRI screening ..read more

According to the American Academy of Neurology (AAN), about 1.6 to 3.8 million concussions result from sports-related injuries in the United States each year. These injuries can affect any person no matter his or her age, weight, height, gender, or athletic ability. Brain injuries or concussions can result in a full recovery; however, this assumes the injuries are detected in time or even detected at all.
The innovative neuroimaging technique, Diffusion Tensor Imaging (DTI), is one of the newest advancements in injury detection technology. DTI can estimate the specific location, orientation, a ..read more

Magnetic resonance imaging (or MRI) is a form of diagnostic imaging used to develop images of human organs and tissues. MRI uses a large magnet to send radio signals to a nearby computer, creating a detailed, cross-sectional image of internal organs, soft tissue, and structures. The traditional MRI scanner was designed to be closed in order to capture every angle of the patient. The closed MRI scanner features a capsule-like entry space for patients.
What’s the closed MRI scanner all about?
The closed MRI scanner develops clear diagnostic images because of its proximity to the patient and its ..read more

Diffusion Tensor Imaging (DTI) is a neuroimaging technique that can estimate the specific location, orientation, and anisotropy of potential damage after a traumatic brain injury (TBI) or concussion. This innovative technology has become a vital tool in analyzing the effects of traumatic events on the brain, especially when the aftermath calls for a precise scan. In fact, DTI results have been used as evidence to prove fault in local personal injury cases.

The standard MRI is notorious for creating a sense of anxiety in patients of all ages. Sensitive patients have trouble completing MRI exams, especially because the exam usually takes place inside a small, condensed space.
The magnetic resonance imaging (or MRI) scan is used to develop images of organs and tissues in the human body. Medical professionals use MRI to check on tumors and cysts, injuries in the joints, diseases in the liver and abdominal organs, or anomalies of the brain or spinal cord. An MRI scan uses a large magnet, radio waves, and a computer to create a detailed, cross-section ..read more

Those who have experienced a mild traumatic brain injury (TBI) or concussion know the consequences can be destructive. Victims may suffer from long-term neurological damage if trauma is not properly detected. Thankfully, innovations in diagnostic imaging have led to the development of Diffusion Tensor Imaging, a neuroimaging technique that more specifically estimates the location, orientation, and anisotropy of potential damage after a mild traumatic brain injury (TBI) or concussion.
What exactly is Diffusion Tensor Imaging?
Diffusion Tensor Imaging, also known as DTI, is an MRI-based neuroima ..read more

As we grow older, our body naturally changes. Our physical appearance changes and our inner systems weaken with old age. An active or healthy lifestyle can often help combat aging; however, these are not long-term solutions. Some individuals will endure conditions or diseases that will accelerate the body’s aging process. One of those diseases is osteoporosis.
What is Osteoporosis?
Osteoporosis is a disease that contributes to an individual’s total bone loss. This disease causes bones to become brittle, increasing a victim’s risk of broken bones or damaging fractures. Typically, osteoporosis i ..read more

October is Breast Cancer Awareness Month, an annual campaign that seeks to raise awareness about all things breast cancer. To support the cause, some individuals adorn the color pink, fundraise for victims of the disease, or volunteer for major organizations like the Susan G. Komen Breast Cancer Foundation, the National Breast Cancer Foundation, Inc., Breast Cancer Now, and many more. Many individuals, though, are surprised to learn that scheduling an annual mammogram could be one of the keenest ways to join the fight against breast cancer worldwide.

From serious physical accidents to precautionary testing, digital imaging can be used to investigate a range of medical cases. If someone has been injured, it is likely the victim will need to see a professional to complete an MRI, X-ray, or ultrasound. You may want to have these tests taken at the hospital if you are already being examined in the event of an emergency; however, private diagnostic imaging centers are also viable radiology testing options.
Before deciding on a particular diagnostic imaging center to execute your scans or tests, consider these expert points:

The human brain is one complex organ. It is the central organ of the nervous system. The brain is the command center of the human body; this means it receives signals from other organs, interprets those signals, and transmits the information to the rest of the body in order to produce movement and organ function. Sight, smell, taste, hearing, and touch all stem from the brain as well. Without the power of the brain, the human body is lifeless.
Now, when complications regarding the brain arise, physicians will want to take a closer look at the command center’s inner workings. Today, there are v ..read more
