An MRI scan is a painless procedure that uses magnetic fields and radio waves to produce detailed images of organs and tissues. Preparation may involve changing into loose, metal-free clothing and avoiding food, drink, smoking, and medications containing caffeine for several hours prior. During the scan, the patient lies still inside the MRI machine while images are taken, which can take 15-90 minutes. After the scan, the patient can resume normal activities unless sedated, in which case they should avoid driving or drinking for 24 hours.
A myelogram is a radiographic study that uses contrast medium and fluoroscopy to evaluate the spinal cord and nerve roots. The contrast medium is injected into the subarachnoid space, usually at the L3-L4 or C1-C2 vertebrae under fluoroscopy. Images are then taken in various positions as the table is tilted to allow the contrast to flow. Myelography can diagnose conditions like tumors or herniated discs but has been replaced by MRI in most cases due to its invasiveness and radiation exposure. Risks include allergic reaction or headache, but benefits include accurate diagnosis when other imaging is not conclusive.
This document provides preparation instructions for CT, MRI, and contrast administration. It outlines screening requirements like medical history, allergies, medications, and creatinine tests. For CT and MRI, it instructs patients to remove metallic objects and drink water. CT patients may need premedication for contrast allergies. MRI screening identifies absolute contraindications like pacemakers. Gadolinium administration requires creatinine testing in high risk patients due to risks of nephrogenic systemic fibrosis. Pregnant women should only have MRI if absolutely necessary due to risks of intravenous gadolinium.
A myelogram is a radiographic procedure where contrast medium is injected into the spinal subarachnoid space to evaluate the spinal cord, nerve roots, and spinal canal for abnormalities. It is performed by a radiologist under fluoroscopy guidance and involves inserting a needle into the lumbar or cervical spine to inject contrast medium. Images are then taken under fluoroscopy and with conventional radiography in multiple positions to visualize the entire spinal canal and assess for any structural abnormalities. Patients are monitored after the procedure and advised on post-procedure care depending on the type of contrast medium used.
Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) uses strong magnets and radio waves to produce detailed images of the inside of the body without using ionizing radiation. An MRI machine contains a powerful magnet to align hydrogen atoms in the body. Radio waves are then used to excite the atoms, which emit signals as they relax. These signals are detected by antennas and used by a computer to generate 2D or 3D images of tissues and organs. MRI provides excellent soft tissue contrast and is useful for imaging the brain, muscles, joints, and other internal organs. While it has advantages over CT in avoiding radiation, MRI scans can be costly and some patients may find the enclosed scanner space claustrophobic.
The document provides information on patient preparation for MRI, CT, and nuclear medicine procedures. For MRI, patients need to fast for 1 hour and remove all metal objects. For CT, fasting is required for 6 hours and metformin needs to be stopped. Nuclear medicine preparation depends on the specific exam, but generally involves fasting, avoiding caffeine and certain medications. The full document provides more detailed guidance for each type of imaging test.
This document provides information about myelography, a radiographic examination of the spinal cord. It involves injecting contrast medium to detect spinal cord pathology. The spinal cord extends from the brain down the back and is protected by three meningeal layers. Cerebrospinal fluid surrounds and cushions the spinal cord. A myelogram is performed by puncturing the subarachnoid space and injecting contrast medium before taking radiographic images. Risks include reaction to the contrast medium, increased intracranial pressure, or aggravating existing conditions like arachnoiditis. Patients must stop certain medications beforehand and remain on bed rest afterwards.
CT scans use X-rays to create detailed images of structures inside the body, while MRIs use magnetic fields and radio waves, and both have advantages and disadvantages. CT scans are quicker, cheaper, and better for bone structures, but expose patients to radiation, while MRIs do not use radiation but are more expensive, lengthy, and have stricter safety requirements. Overall, the document compares the uses of CT and MRI scans and their respective benefits and drawbacks.

Contrast media, or contrast, is a liquid used in imaging tests to highlight parts of the body. It contains iodine, which interacts with x-rays and allows differentiation of tissues. Contrast is used in various CT protocols, with timing of administration dependent on the area and structures being imaged, such as 18-22 seconds for CT angiograms of the carotid arteries. Risk factors for receiving contrast include allergies, kidney problems, medications like metformin, and certain medical conditions. Proper screening and potentially pre-medication can help reduce risks.
This document provides information about myelography, a radiographic examination of the central nervous system structures in the vertebral canal. It involves injecting contrast material into the subarachnoid space surrounding the spinal cord and brain. The contrast allows visualization of the spinal cord and nerves. A spinal puncture is performed to access the subarachnoid space and inject the contrast. Images are then taken under fluoroscopy to examine the spinal cord, nerves and surrounding structures.
The document discusses the components and workings of magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) systems. It explains that MRI systems use incredibly powerful magnets ranging from 0.5 to 3 Tesla to align hydrogen atoms in the body. It describes the dangers posed by metal objects in the strong magnetic field and the screening procedures used. The advantages of MRI are also outlined, including its use of non-ionizing radiation and ability to show soft tissues and blood flow.
Dr. Rajesh Venunath Nair teaches radiology at K.S Hegde Medical Academy in Mangalore.

MRI uses strong magnetic fields and radio waves to generate images of the inside of the body. It is a medical imaging technique widely used in radiology to visualize anatomy and physiological processes. MRI has many medical uses and applications across different body systems. It is generally a safe technique but there are some risks needing consideration for things like implants, projectile effects, and claustrophobia. Guidelines and certifications aim to standardize roles and ensure safe MRI practices.
This document outlines an MRI brain protocol. It begins with an introduction to MRI brain imaging and its advantages over CT, such as lack of radiation exposure and greater soft tissue contrast. Common indications for MRI brain are then listed. The document describes patient preparation, contrast usage, coil positioning, imaging sequences including T1, T2, FLAIR, DWI, and advanced techniques like MRS and fMRI. Specific protocols are provided for conditions like MS, trauma, pituitary imaging, and CSF flow studies.
The perfect diagnostic test to evaluate a patient with severe abdominal pain and vomiting would be ultrasound. Ultrasound uses sound waves to create images of internal organs and tissues and is non-invasive. The history of ultrasound began in 1794 with the study of echolocation in bats. In the 1940s, ultrasound was first used for medical diagnoses to detect brain tumors. The transducer converts electricity into sound waves that penetrate the body and bounce back, creating echoes that are converted back to electricity to form an image on a monitor. Ultrasound provides information about soft tissues without radiation or invasive procedures.
Computed tomography (CT) of the head is used to assess head injuries, headaches, dizziness, and symptoms of conditions like aneurysms, bleeding, strokes, and brain tumors. It can also help evaluate the face, sinuses, and skull. CT of the head uses X-rays to generate cross-sectional images of the head and brain which provide more detailed information than regular X-rays, particularly for soft tissues and blood vessels. Common protocols for head CT include non-contrast exams for conditions like trauma or stroke, as well as contrast-enhanced exams to evaluate tumors, aneurysms, or other conditions. Precautions are taken to minimize radiation exposure, especially for children.
Myelography is an imaging examination that involves inserting a needle into the spinal canal and injecting contrast dye to visualize the spinal cord, nerve roots, and surrounding structures using fluoroscopy and x-rays. It is used to evaluate herniated discs, tumors, infections, inflammation, spinal lesions, and stenosis. Patients are prepped and positioned for the procedure, a needle is inserted to draw fluid and inject contrast dye, and x-rays are taken. Post-procedure care involves rest, monitoring for side effects, and encouraging fluids to eliminate the dye.
This document discusses safety considerations for working with MRI machines. It covers several topics:
1. The static magnetic field of an MRI is extremely strong, around 30,000 times stronger than Earth's magnetic field. As a result, there are biological and mechanical risks from the magnetic field.
2. There are different safety zones around an MRI machine, with the innermost zone only allowing screened patients and personnel. Various instructions are provided to patients regarding removing all metal objects before an MRI scan.
3. Both patients and personnel must be screened for any metal implants or other factors that could pose a risk during a scan. Certain metals are considered MRI-safe but patients should always check with a technologist about any objects

Mammography uses low-dose x-rays to examine the breast for early cancer detection. It has advanced from film to digital mammography and tomosynthesis, which creates 3D breast images. Computer-aided detection highlights abnormal areas. Screening mammograms aim to detect cancer in asymptomatic women, while diagnostic mammograms investigate symptoms. Benefits include early detection, but limitations include false positives and negatives due to breast density. Yearly mammograms after age 40 are recommended for breast cancer screening. Ultrasound provides localized breast images without radiation but cannot screen whole breasts. MRI is superior for dense breasts but has no radiation risk.
Computed tomography (CT) uses X-rays and digital geometry processing to generate 3D images of the inside of the body. During a CT scan, an X-ray tube rotates around the patient, emitting beams that are detected and used to construct cross-sectional slices. A radiologist can then analyze these slices to diagnose medical conditions by viewing internal organs, bones, soft tissues, and blood vessels with greater clarity and detail than traditional X-rays. CT scans are commonly used to diagnose cancers, cardiovascular diseases, infections, appendicitis, trauma, and muscular-skeletal disorders.
MRI provides detailed images of the brain without exposing patients to radiation. It is useful for evaluating conditions like tumors, strokes, and multiple sclerosis. The document describes the MRI procedure for brain imaging including patient preparation, head coils, sequences, and protocols. Key sequences discussed are T1-weighted, T2-weighted, FLAIR, diffusion weighted, MR angiography, and MR venography.
An MRI scan uses radio waves and a strong magnetic field to produce detailed images of the inside of the body. It can be used to detect abnormalities in soft tissues like the brain or cancer. Not everyone can undergo an MRI, as the strong magnetic field is unsafe if the patient has metallic implants like pacemakers. Common reasons doctors recommend an MRI include detecting brain tumors, assessing injuries before surgery, and tracking cancer treatment. The cost of an MRI ranges from Rs. 1500 to Rs. 25,000 depending on the body part and location.
Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) - medical information martinshaji
Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) uses strong magnetic fields and radio waves to produce detailed images of the inside of the body without using ionizing radiation. An MRI scan can be used to diagnose diseases and conditions, monitor treatment, and check for cancer recurrence. During an MRI scan, the patient lies inside the MRI machine, which is a large ring with a central opening. The patient must remain still during the 20-90 minute scan to prevent blurry images. Precautions are taken for any metal objects and some patients may receive an IV contrast agent or medication to improve image quality. A radiologist analyzes the images and sends a report to the referring doctor.

Similar to MRI scan: Purpose, Procedure and Risks (20)
Left atrial appendage closure device involves a procedure that reduces the risk of stroke in atrial fibrillation patients. It also reduces the risk of bleeding that comes with a long-term use of oral anticoagulants. The WATCHMAN Device is permanently implanted at the site or slightly distal to the ostium of the LAA (the source of more than 90% of stroke-causing bloods clots in atrial fibrillation patients).
Endoscopic spine surgery is a minimally invasive procedure used to treat severe back pain caused by slipped discs, spinal stenosis, or scoliosis when conventional treatments like medication and physical therapy have failed. The surgeon makes a small incision and inserts specialized tools including an endoscope to view and repair the damaged spinal area. Benefits include quicker recovery, shorter hospital stays, less pain and blood loss, and lower risk of complications compared to open spine surgery.
It is a minimally invasive procedure that uses ultrasound with an EBUS bronchoscope (thin, long flexible tube with a camera on an end) to see the airway wall and the adjacent structures.
Spine Disc Surgeries - Discectomy and DecompressionYashodaHospitals
The document discusses various spinal decompression procedures including diskectomy, laminectomy, and foraminotomy. Diskectomy involves removing a portion of a herniated disc to relieve nerve compression. Laminectomy and laminotomy remove part of the lamina bone to widen the spinal canal to relieve pressure on nerves. Foraminotomy enlarges the openings where nerves exit the spine. These procedures provide relief from pain caused by damaged vertebrae or discs pressing on spinal nerves.
Bronchoscopy and pleuroscopy are minimally invasive endoscopic procedures used to diagnose and treat lung diseases. Bronchoscopy involves inserting a thin, lighted tube with a camera through the mouth or nose into the lungs, while pleuroscopy accesses the pleural space between the lungs through a small incision in the chest. Both procedures allow doctors to directly examine the lungs and collect samples, and have benefits of providing quick results without the need for surgical cuts or long hospital stays.
Retroperitoneoscopic surgery (RPS) is a minimally invasive procedure performed through small incisions in the back to access the kidney, adrenals, and ureter for conditions like removing kidney stones or repairing abnormalities. Common RPS procedures include nephrectomies, adrenalectomies, and repairing ureteral obstructions. RPS provides direct access to organs without touching the bowel, allowing for early access to blood vessels and an easy approach to the renal hilum. The benefits of RPS include it being safe, causing less pain, and resulting in quicker recovery times and shorter hospital stays compared to open surgery.

Implantable cardiac devices are electronic, battery-operated medical devices that are implanted to restore the heart's normal rhythm and prevent sudden cardiac death. Implantable cardioverter-defibrillator, Pacemaker and LAVD are such devices that help to maintain rhythm and pumping. A pacemaker is a small implantable cardiac device that is placed under the skin in the chest to help control the heartbeat, improve quality of life and for longevity. It is used to help the heart beat more regularly for irregular heartbeat also known as arrhythmia.
What does it help with?
Pacemaker helps in controlling the rhythm and of the heart by either:
Resynchronizing the rhythm
Correcting the rhythm
Facilitating adequate circulation to support a failing heart
Mechanical thrombectomy is a minimally invasive procedure to remove blood clots from large brain vessels. It involves inserting a catheter through a small groin incision and using stent-like devices to remove clots causing acute ischemic strokes from large artery occlusion. It can benefit patients who are not candidates for or failed intravenous thrombolysis, especially if performed within 24 hours of symptom onset. Recovery depends on patient factors but may take weeks, with potential for improved outcomes over intravenous thrombolysis alone.
Breast Conserving Surgery in Hyderabad | Breast Cancer Treatment in HyderabadYashodaHospitals
Breast-conserving Surgery is also known as lumpectomy or partial lumpectomy, it is a procedure to remove the cancer from the breast and some normal tissue. BCS involves only the part of the breast that has cancer to be removed. BCS is a good option for many women with early-stage cancers. Usually after BCS, radiation therapy is given to destroy cancer cells that may not have been removed during surgery. In some cases, chemotherapy and radiation are both given after BCS.
Who is BCS recommended for?
Not all women with breast cancer are candidates for BCS. However, speak to a doctor to find out whether BCS is an option for you.
BCS might be a good option for the below reason:
1. If the tumor is small and localized.
2. If you are eligible for radiation therapy
3. Do not have inflammatory breast cancer
4. Are not pregnant or, if pregnant, will not need radiation therapy immediately.
5. Do not have a mutation linked to breast cancer.
6. Do not have serious connective tissue diseases such as scleroderma or lupus.
TAVR is a minimally invasive procedure to replace a severely stenotic aortic valve. The aortic valve regulates blood flow from the left ventricle to the aorta. Aortic valve stenosis occurs when the valve thickens and narrows, reducing blood flow. TAVR can treat aortic stenosis in patients at high risk for open heart surgery or those whose artificial valves have failed. During TAVR, a catheter is used to guide a replacement valve through the body to the heart, where it is deployed to replace the diseased valve. TAVR allows for quicker recovery and shorter hospital stays than open heart surgery.
Peroral Endoscopic Myotomy (POEM) | Treatment For Achalasia of Esophagus and ...YashodaHospitals
POEM is a minimally invasive procedure that uses a high definition endoscope (a flexible tube with a mounted camera at end) to help treat certain swallowing disorders and stands for Peroral Endoscopic Myotomy.
Who cannot undergo this procedure?
Although POEM is a safe and effective procedure, it may not be a suitable option in certain cases. People with any of the following conditions are generally not recommended to undergo POEM for achalasia:
1. Disorders of coagulation
2. History of any kind of therapy that is likely to compromise the integrity of the mucosa of the esophagus or lead to fibrosis of the submucosa for e.g. radiation for cancer treatment, endoscopic mucosal resection, or radiofrequency ablation
3. Liver cirrhosis with portal hypertension
4. Severe erosive esophagitis
When should it be done?
POEM is generally indicated for treating the following disease:
1. Achalasia: It is a medical condition that affects the muscles of the esophagus. The lower esophageal sphincter (LES), a muscular valve present between the esophagus and the stomach fails to relax during swallowing in this condition.
2. Diffuse esophageal spasm: Esophageal disorders of muscle spasm that are unresponsive to medical therapies
3. Nutcracker esophagus also known as hypertensive peristalsis is a muscle spasm disorder which needs surgical correction.

See how capsule endoscopy and spiral endoscopy enables the doctors to not only diagnose but treat the condition right away.
Robotic surgeries: Procedures, Advantages and RisksYashodaHospitals
Over 3 million patients have undergone robotic surgery since 2000. Robotic surgery allows surgeons to perform minimally invasive procedures through small incisions using a robotic system that has 3D imaging and wrist-like joints, giving surgeons improved access and control. While the surgeon controls the robotic arms, benefits of robotic surgery include less pain, smaller incisions, shorter hospital stays, and quicker recovery times compared to traditional open or laparoscopic surgeries. The doctor determines if a patient is eligible for robotic surgery based on their individual procedure and medical needs.

Intervals and Segments of ECG:
P-R Interval:
•‘P-R’ interval is the interval
between the onset of ‘P’wave and onset of ‘Q’ wave.
•‘P-R’ interval cause atrial depolarization and conduction of impulses through AV node.
Duration:0.18 (0.12 to 0.2) sec
Q-T Interval:
•‘Q-T’ interval is the interval between the onset of ‘Q’
wave and the end of ‘T’ wave.
•‘Q-T’ interval indicates the ventricular depolarization
and ventricular repolarization,
i.e. it signifies the
electrical activity in ventricles.
Duration:0.4-0.42sec
