Textbook Question
Chapter 1, Problem 27RQ
What are two major disadvantages of MRI scans?
- release of radiation and poor quality images
- high cost and the need for shielding from the magnetic signals
- can only view
metabolically active tissues and inadequate availability of equipment - release of radiation and the need for a patient to be confined to metal tube for up to 30 minutes

Students have asked these similar questions
X-rays as a type of biomedical imaging does not:
allow visualization of internal organs
utilize ionizing radiation
form a negative image
form a 3D image
CT scanning:
Creates a plane of radiation
Can be painful for some people
Produces one image to be examined on a computer
Allows visualization of soft tissue and internal organs
Magnetic resonance imaging:
Can be seen as an alternative to X-rays
Uses magnetic and radiation frequency to form an image
Requires the patient to go into a cylinder that is not a tight fit
Uses back projections to reconstruct images
Explain ultrasound ct scan and mri. What is difference and what can they be used for?
Compare medical ultrasound scanning with other forms of imaging (X-ray imaging and MRI for example), including resolution and safety issues. (at least 250 words)
