Types of MRI Exams Available in Frisco, TX
MRI uses powerful magnetic fields and radio waves to create highly detailed images of soft tissues, organs, joints, and other structures. Depending on your physician's order, an MRI can help investigate a wide range of conditions.
Brain MRI
A brain MRI produces detailed images of the brain and surrounding structures. Physicians may use this type of imaging to evaluate headaches, neurological symptoms, tumors, stroke, multiple sclerosis, injuries, and other conditions affecting the brain.
Spine MRI
MRI can provide detailed views of the cervical, thoracic, and lumbar spine. Spine MRI exams can help identify herniated discs, spinal stenosis, nerve compression, injuries, and degenerative changes associated with neck or back pain.
Abdominal and Pelvic MRI
An abdominal or pelvic MRI allows physicians to examine organs, soft tissues, and other internal structures in detail. These exams may be ordered to investigate abnormalities or evaluate known conditions affecting the abdomen or pelvis.
Knee MRI
A knee MRI can provide a close look at structures such as the meniscus, cartilage, ligaments, and tendons. It is frequently used when evaluating sports injuries, persistent knee pain, and other musculoskeletal problems.
Shoulder MRI
A shoulder MRI can help physicians evaluate the soft tissues within the shoulder, including the rotator cuff, tendons, cartilage, and labrum. It may be recommended when pain, weakness, limited mobility, or an injury requires a more detailed evaluation.
Ankle and Foot MRI
An ankle and foot MRI provides detailed images of bones, joints, ligaments, tendons, and soft tissues in the lower extremity. This type of imaging is commonly used to assess sports injuries, sprains, fractures, plantar fasciitis, Achilles tendon injuries, arthritis, and chronic pain or swelling in the foot or ankle.
What Happens During an MRI at Gateway in Frisco?
Your MRI appointment begins with a check-in and screening process. An MRI technologist will review the exam with you, answer your questions, and make sure you are prepared before imaging begins.
During the scan:
- You will lie on a padded table positioned for the specific MRI being performed.
- The table will move into the MRI scanner.
- You will need to remain as still as possible while images are acquired.
- Your technologist will remain in communication with you throughout the exam.
The length of an MRI varies depending on the body area and type of study ordered. After the exam, a qualified radiologist reviews the images and provides a report to your referring healthcare provider.
