At Tesla MRI, we prioritize your health and well-being by offering advanced imaging services tailored to your specific needs. If you’ve been scheduled for a breast MRI, it’s completely normal to have questions or concerns. This guide is here to help you feel informed and prepared for your upcoming scan.
What is a Breast MRI?
A Breast MRI (Magnetic Resonance Imaging) is a sophisticated imaging technique that uses strong magnets and radio waves to generate detailed images of breast tissue. Unlike mammography and ultrasound, a breast MRI provides multidimensional views, offering deeper insight into breast anatomy and detecting changes that may be missed with other methods.
Breast MRIs are most effective when used alongside other breast imaging tests rather than as a replacement. While highly sensitive, each imaging method has its strengths, and combining them provides a more complete understanding of your breast health.
This advanced technology helps make the diagnostic process more efficient—leading to shorter exam times, quicker results, greater convenience, and a more comfortable overall experience.
What to expect?
During the scan, you’ll lie face down on a flat table with your arms raised above your head. Your breasts will rest into an opening in the table, allowing for imaging without compression. Cushions may be used to help keep you still and comfortable throughout the procedure. Once you’re in position, the table slides into a long, narrow tube where the scan is performed.
The exam is painless, but staying very still is important for capturing clear images. The MRI machine may make loud tapping, clicking, or whirring sounds while in use—similar to a washing machine. To reduce discomfort, we provide earplugs or headphones during your scan.
If you’re looking for a trusted medical team to guide you through your breast MRI with care and professionalism, choose Tesla MRI. We’re here to support you every step of the way.
Diffusion Tensor Imaging measures the flow of water in your brain. A specific gadget is employed to photograph the water’s motions. A map is then generated to demonstrate where the paths are and how well they are arranged. This helps your doctor understand how your brain functions and whether there are any issues with the circuits.
DTI tractography is a non-invasive technique that produces pictures of the brain, tissues, and skull using MRI technology. MRI technology produces comprehensive pictures of minute changes in bodily tissue and blood flow, making it a very dependable tool for detecting illness, injury, bleeding, and edema.
Tesla MRI’s DTI MRI system offers ultra-high field strength, surpassing traditional imaging capabilities. The higher signal-to-noise ratio improves picture quality, allowing healthcare practitioners to see small anatomical features and minor anomalies with unparalleled clarity.
Tesla MRI prioritizes efficient workflow in healthcare, recognizing the value of time. Our DTI MRI scanner is built with user-friendly interfaces and efficient processes, allowing healthcare practitioners to conduct research with ease while focusing on patient care.
Diffusion Tensor Imaging is a useful technique for detecting and treating brain disorders because it provides a clear image of what is going on inside the brain. This is why Tesla MRI offers DTI MRI’s to help look into the following:
Brain Injury Assessment: DTI can be used to determine the level of damage in situations of traumatic brain injury or concussion. It aids in identifying areas where the brain’s pathways may have been altered and can shed light on how the damage affected cognitive and motor skills.
Multiple Sclerosis Diagnosis: DTI may help diagnose and monitor multiple sclerosis, a disorder of the central nervous system. It aids in the identification of demyelination and injury in the brain and spinal cord.
Stroke Evaluation: DTI may be used to examine the consequences of a stroke on the brain, providing information regarding infarcted regions as well as damage to white matter pathways. This information can aid in developing a rehabilitation and recovery strategy.
