MRI scanners

A magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) scanner is medical equipment for diagnosing internal organs, tissues, and fluids in the human body. The device uses a strong magnetic field and radiofrequency pulses, which cause a resonant response of hydrogen atoms in the fluids contained in organs and tissues. Hydrogen atoms change their orientation in space, thus allowing to determine the fluid concentration in the organ and detect deviations from the norm.

A magnetic resonance imaging scanner can see the internal layers of the body, conduct examinations with a millimeter step, and obtain detailed diffusion-weighted images on a monitor in all anatomical projections.

The machine detects the localization of inflammatory and tumor processes with high accuracy. The use of contrast agents helps to conduct a detailed study of fluid dynamics in the body, such as blood, bile, urine, lymph, cerebrospinal fluid, and quickly and effectively detect the presence or absence of peritumoral edema and tumors.

You can buy an MRI machine at the best price for diagnosing human internal organs from us. We offer a wide selection of medical machines from leading global manufacturers, delivery in Kyiv and Ukraine, and service maintenance. Call us to find out about the terms of cooperation, how much the equipment and installation cost, and how to choose and order a device.

How to Choose an MRI Machine

When choosing a tomograph, one should consider the strength of the magnetic field generated by the device. The magnetic field strength is measured in teslas (T, Teslas). The speed of obtaining data and the quality of images produced by the machine as a result of examinations depend on the magnetic field strength.

1. 1.5T scanners generate a powerful magnetic field and require continuous cooling with liquid helium. Without cooling, the device will quickly fail. An adequate amount of spare parts is available on the market for repairing these models. Such machines allow quickly obtaining high-quality images in high resolution.
2. 3T scanners are usually used for examining joints, muscles, blood vessels, and nerves. Their power reduces examination time and allows obtaining detailed images very quickly. With the help of such MRI machines, clinics scan the brain, heart, spine, and bones.
3. 0.4–0.5T MRI scanners have the lowest cost among similar devices, but they process data very slowly and produce blurry images.

In addition, tomographs are divided into two types:

• Closed machines require the full immersion of the human body into the tomograph. For this, the person is placed on a movable couch that moves into the middle of the device. Such tomographs allow for obtaining more detailed images, which simplifies diagnosis, but their cost is usually high.
• Open models have a stationary couch above which the scanning part of the device is located. The force field is generated by two sources, between which the patient is situated on a platform. Images from such a device are less detailed, but it is more suitable for people with claustrophobia.

If you find it difficult to decide which tomograph is best for your clinic, contact us by phone to get a qualified consultation. From our experienced specialists, you can find out the technical specifications of various medical devices, how much they cost, and how to order equipment with optimal parameters.

Magnetic Resonance Imaging Scanner: Scope of Application

MRI machines can examine specific areas and organs in the human body:

• the brain to detect strokes and their consequences, aneurysms, multiple sclerosis, tumors, pathologies of the eyes, ears, nasal cavity, etc.;
• the abdominal cavity to study the condition of the liver, kidneys, and other organs;
• the spine for examinations of the spinal cord, bone tissue structure, and muscles;
• soft tissues for the timely detection of tumors;
• joints to determine damage and degenerative changes;
• the condition of internal organs, such as the heart, lungs, pelvic organs (prostate, uterus, and appendages), etc.

The difference between MRI and X-ray or computed tomography is that this machine does not have harmful radiation, is safe from an environmental point of view, and does not affect the physical condition of a person.
