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?
Describe with the aid of a well labeled diagram,the physical principles behind the mode of operation of a computed radiography imaging system

- Cancer patients who want to use CAM should talk with their doctor or nurse. This is important because things that seem safe could be harmful or even interfere with cancer treatment. It's also a good idea to learn if the therapy they are thinking about has been proven to do what it claims to do. What types of CAM therapies might help the patient:1. Reduce stress and anxiety?2. Feel less tired?3. Deal with cancer symptoms and side effects, such as pain or nausea? Cancer patients who want to use CAM should talk with their doctor or nurse.
