Common Questions and Answers about Mri scan software

These equipment use computers which uses the software that is supportive for the machinery.For .example if You take a CT scan to search for lung cancer the software system utilizes different angles to view the lung fields in many dimensions.3D lung reconstruction uses Improved Ray Casting Algorithm which provides information for diagnosing respiratory problems.
How long is a mri with ms protocol usually? I had one and it was 20 minutes without contrast and 7 minutes with contrast on a 1.5 tesla is this pretty standard?
Hi Tara and welcome to the forum. I don't believe we have "met" yet.
My MS was diagnosed on a closed 1.5 Telsa MRI machine. However, the strength of the machine isn't the only factor. The software used to obtain the MRI cuts is just as important.
I am lucky enough to have most of my MRIs taken on a 1.5t but it has the best software in the area ,including the academic centers.
Especially when she moves or walks, she says her both bottoms(where she sits), sometimes hips are hurting so much. Does she need to have MRI or tomography and can she use MRI or tomography with her replacements? Her knee replacement brand is Zimmer and four components:
Zimmer, NextGen, Complete Knee Solution, Legacy Knee-Posterior Stabilized LPS-Flex Femoral Component Option Size D, Right.
I was wondering how you find out the level or strength of the mri machine? The printout from the radiologist just says it was a high-field MRI unit. I had thought at first the T1 and T2 meant something about that, but after reading the info post that Quix wrote, I found out that meant something different. I also checked on the CD's that were given to me after both my mri's and saw nothing on them either. I guess I should just call and ask.

The facility I have had 2 MRIs done uses a Toshiba MRI and was today told they use "EMPOWER" software. Have read that 'good' software with a 1.5 T is as good as, or better than a 3T with poor software.
Wondering if anyone knows about the quality of Toshiba and Empower?
Thanks in advance!
I am having another Mri on Wednesday next week. All my others were on 1.5T. All were with gad.
Has anyone noticed a big difference between the two. I hate Mri's. Is it much noisier than the lesser strenghth magnets?
Well after 4 long weeks of waiting for my MRI scan, i arrive at the MRI unit yesterday evening only to be told as im getting onto the scanner that my MRI has been requested without contrast. i did try to tell the radiographer that it should have been with contrast as it was to diagnose MS.
The radiographer told me that contrast didnt matter and that MS would show on the type of scan they were doing (i know this not strictly true).
More, actually, because the software provides for a great deal of detail, and software is just as important, if not more so, as the MRI magnet.
At least that is my experience, but yours could be different. Brain MRIs are always ordered, it seems, but for spinal ones, that seems to be up to the neurologist.
As has been said, the Health Pages will give you a great deal of info about this whole process.

I’ve seen a lot of different doctors due to changes in insurance, moving elsewhere, lack of funds, etc. my bloodwork isn’t always great either but they haven’t done any specific checks for cancer to my knowledge. I’m still rounding up doctor reports and lab results.
My question is: Was it a mistake or error to put that on my report? Could it have been from another patient? How likely is that?
First you need to know that the results of the MRI are only as good as the software that runs them. A 1.5T done at one facility may be inferior or superior to a 1.5T at another facility. Perhaps you could ask this question to your neuro..his preference and experience with both facilities.
Generally the open MRIs are not as good as picking up the lesions but I 'm not sure since the 3T is thrown into the mix.
As for the claustrophobia, join the club.
I had a MRI from the hospital and got a CD, which has a viewer and images. Dr. showed me the pancreatic tumors (about 15 cysts) on the computer screen. I tried it on my computer, but I could not see very clearly, I have two computer with the display resolution of 1440x900 and 1920x1080. Higher resolution showed better images, but still less quality than what I saw in the Dr's office.
To see the better images, what do I need ? Better viewer software or better resolution display ?
my previous 2 MRIs have been done at one location. Should I stay with this location, or does the availability of a 3 Tesla MRI warrant making a location and machine change?
My MRI CD is also on that software, and it won't run on anything but XP, in my experience.
An MRI of my cervical spine showed a hernia, athritis and nerve damage. The MRI of my brain showed white lesions. I was sent for a second MRI, this time with contrast. I called for the results this morning and was told that my MRI was completely normal. The rest of my symptoms are being put down to my neck and stress. I'm really confused. Is it a definite I don't have MS or another neurological disorder?
