My Thoughts and Experience with the Amazing Magnetic Resonance Image

To be completely honest, I do not know much about MRI machines; however, I did come across the device many times when I was with my clients at the hospital. I work as an interpreter, and I sometimes go with clients when they have an appointment with their doctors for x-rays or CAT scans, or even MRI scan. Nevertheless, I did have an MRI scan several times in my life. All I knew was that an MRI machine was a device which was used to take images of body just like the images taken by X-rays, CAT scans and Mammogram.
I choose this article “What is MRI? How does MRI work” by Mathew Kalapurayil because I found these devices to be interesting and also extremely useful to healthcare providers because the vast number of patients saved by a scan which could detect and diagnose diseases, without any physical harm or side effects. The advantages of MRI scan include its careful precision in noticing physical irregularities of the body. In medical technology, identifying the disease is not based only on one result rather it is a collection of information shared by a group of specialists; one example of this is the radiologists who are skilled doctor. The radiologist is trained expert who understand and interpret the MRI information. His job is to read the magnetic resonance image from your scan and submit the result to your doctor. Your physician will then share this information and other medical information associated with your case with you. MRI stands for Magnetic Resonance imaging ((Kalapurayil, 2013).
The Tests that are done by MRI does much the same as the CT scan without using X-rays. CT scan and MRI are used in many medical specialties, in addition to the musculoskeletal system. MRI is extremely accurate when it comes to detecting dis...

1-Magnetic Resonance Imaging:
The use of a nuclear magnetic resonance spectrometer to produce electronic images of specific atoms and molecular structures in solids, especially human cells, tissues, and organs (yahoowebdictionary.com).
Example:
MRI scan uses magnetic resonance imaging.

Pacing wires:
A device that is inserted in the heart of a patient intended to record EGG signals and to deliver electrical impulses to the heart is called pacing wire.
Example:
The uncle of my friend who had a pacing device inserted in his heart died last month.
Radio waves:
An electromagnetic wave within the range of radio frequencies (yahoowebdictionary.com).
Example:
Radio Waves use electromagnetic waves to transport information through the atmosphere.
