2. MRI contrast agent - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/MRI_contrast_agent

   A contrast agent usually shortens, but in some instances increases, the value of T1 of nearby water protons thereby altering the contrast in the image. Most clinically used MRI contrast agents work by shortening the T1 relaxation time of protons inside tissues via interactions with the nearby contrast agent.

   A recent study found that an MRI scan of the lower spinal canal cost $1,311 in the commercial market, but only $269 under Medicare. Scattershot pricing seeds at least $230 billion in waste per ...

4. Magnetic resonance angiography - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Magnetic_resonance_angiography

   Contrast-enhanced magnetic resonance angiography uses injection of MRI contrast agents and is currently the most common method of performing MRA. [2] [6] The contrast medium is injected into a vein, and images are acquired both pre-contrast and during the first pass of the agent through the arteries. By subtraction of these two acquisitions in ...

5. Magnetic resonance imaging - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Magnetic_resonance_imaging

   MRI is widely used in hospitals and clinics for medical diagnosis, staging and follow-up of disease. Compared to CT, MRI provides better contrast in images of soft tissues, e.g. in the brain or abdomen. However, it may be perceived as less comfortable by patients, due to the usually longer and louder measurements with the subject in a long ...

7. Diffusion-weighted magnetic resonance imaging - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Diffusion-weighted...

   When water is in an environment where it can freely tumble, relaxation tends to take longer. In certain clinical situations, this can generate contrast between an area of pathology and the surrounding healthy tissue. To sensitize MRI images to diffusion, the magnetic field strength (B1) is varied linearly by a pulsed field gradient.
