Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI)
Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) is of great clinical value in the assessment of central nervous system disorders, musculoskeletal diseases, hepatic lesions, heart and great vessel disorders, pelvic masses and masses in the adrenals and kidneys. Through clinical research, the U-M Health System has taken a leadership role in establishing new MRI techniques that distinguish benign from malignant tumors in the kidney, liver and adrenal glands as well as MR angiography and MR cholangiopancreatography.
MRI is the procedure of choice for brain and spinal cord imaging. It is particularly useful in detecting and evaluating demyelinating diseases and in the early detection of diseases of the posterior cranial fossa, such as cerebellopontine angle tumors and abnormalities in the region of the foramen magnum. Magnetic resonance also has many advantages in the evaluation of a variety of lesions of the head and neck, including the orbits, paranasal sinuses, skull base and soft tissues of the neck.
The U-M Health System's extensive MRI experience helps to ensure that MRI is used judiciously, thereby limiting costly hospitalizations, surgical interventions and duplicate diagnostic imaging studies.
