MRI ( MAGNETIC RESONANCE IMAGING ) – BETATOM MRİ
Our GE brand Emar Signa Explorer device has 16 independent channels with AIR RECON DL. The system, which works with the artificial intelligence-supported space filling method, provides the highest level of image improvement compared to conventional studies. The system provides clinical benefit by recognizing defined artifacts. The Explorer system is the most homogeneous magnet among existing MRI systems with a PPM value of 0.4 at 40 cm DSV. By imaging with 16 independent channels, the desired anatomy can be viewed with antennas containing high channels. With the new generation smart SAR method, tissue surface heating and dielectric effect are prevented. With optical TF technology, effective signal values of radio frequency reading algorithms can be obtained with low noise rates. This feature also provides bone imaging. In addition, moving tissues can be scanned with special software without being affected by patient movements.
Our device has the latest features of magnetic resonance technology and gives us the justified pride of being able to provide quality diagnostic service. With the Betatom Emar System, which has today’s best magnet homogeneity and best system performance, the images obtained are extremely clear and sharp. The high image quality provided by the system significantly increases the rate of correct diagnosis. Betatom Emar System; With its advanced fat saturation technique, it offers the best image quality and homogeneity in a wide imaging area. This feature; It also provides excellent diagnostic opportunities in breast, shoulder, knee and abdomen images.
How much will it take?
MRI examination is completed in 10 to 45 minutes. The variability in duration depends on the location of the area to be examined and the amount of information that needs to be collected about the disease.
How to do it? For what purposes is it done?
Since the inside of the bones can be seen with MRI, it is possible to examine deep places. Complex and difficult procedures are performed, such as looking inside the skull, looking for a brain tumor, examining the nerve sheaths, investigating signs of multiple sclerosis, and evaluating brain bleeding and joint disorders. In addition, organs such as muscles, ligaments, blood vessels, heart, liver and kidneys are scanned for diseases. In addition, since Emar can evaluate the brain structure, it can also be used in the examination of mental disorders.
Expert radiologists, who are the best in their field, evaluate the images obtained in Betatom and obtain more detailed and different information by performing some additional operations via computers.
With MRI, the human body can be examined like slicing an apple. In addition to the diagnostic features of MRI, it also has the advantage that the patient does not have to stay in the hospital for the procedure, the patient does not feel uncomfortable, and the radiologist can immediately report the results to the clinicians. MRI is the most valuable imaging method in our age for imaging brain and spinal cord diseases and pathologies.
The Latest Technology in EMAR Shooting
Betatom Emar Imaging and Diagnosis Center is one of the few centers that offer the latest technology. With the Betatom Emar System, which offers the most up-to-date technology in EMAR imaging to our people in Istanbul, there is no reason to fear EMAR anymore.
Temporomandibular Joint (TMJ) MRI is a scanning method used to obtain detailed images of the jaw joint. This scan, performed using magnetic resonance (MR) technology, provides images of the jaw joint, jawbone and surrounding tissues. Temporomandibular Joint MRI plays an important role in the diagnosis and treatment planning of problems such as jaw joint dysfunctions, jaw pain, and jaw movement limitation.
IS IMAR THE BEST IMAGING METHOD?
WHEN SHOULD TOMOGRAPHY AND WHEN SHOULD MRI SHOULD BE PREFERRED?
All imaging methods have advantages and disadvantages compared to each other. As it is known, Computed Tomography actually works with an X-ray source and gives extremely fast results. In new multislice computed tomography systems, a brain examination is completed in seconds.
In a very serious patient who has had a brain hemorrhage or had a traffic accident, an examination is performed in a very short time. Another advantage of Multislice Computed Tomography is the new bleeding. It is possible to quickly identify the disease in new cases, whether it is an intra-cerebral hemorrhage caused by a high blood pressure crisis or bleeding outside the brain tissue.
Additionally, it is not possible to examine patients with metallic foreign bodies in their soft tissues and those with pacemakers on Emar.
On the other hand, Emar (MRI) system shows the brain tissue better. Emar (MRI) is again more successful in bleeding that has passed over time and brain infarction. Since the imaging takes a long time with old technology Emar devices, it is a problem to get patients into Emar, especially patients who cannot stand still, are semi-conscious or have a fear of being in a closed place. Many patients cannot be examined due to these problems.
But now the situation has changed; These problems have been eliminated in Betatom Emar’s state-of-the-art Emar Signa Explorer system.
In what cases is MRI not taken?
There are also patients in whom this superior imaging technology cannot be used, especially those with metal prostheses in their bodies, because the magnet of the image can displace these metals. Such patients include those with a pacemaker, those with brain surgery and clips attached to their brain vessels, those with metal heart valves, and those with inner ear prosthesis. If your doctor requests an MRI scan, he or she should be informed about it.
IS THERE ANY HARMFUL IN GIVING EMAR TO BABIES?
MRI scans can be performed on patients of all ages, from newborn babies to 110 kilos. There are no side effects of MRI scans found to date. It is the safest diagnostic system in terms of health.
In addition, great convenience has been provided in the examination of children, the elderly and patients with poor cooperation. With short shooting times and a bright and spacious shooting area, the highest quality images of all patients can be easily obtained.
HOW LONG DO IMAR EXAMINATIONS TAKE?
Due to old device systems, people think that they have to stand still for 40-45 minutes to 15 hours in a closed, narrow and cramped device for MRI examination.
But these problems are over now. With new technology devices, examinations are carried out at the speed of the emergency room: In the system where a brain MRI is taken in 3-4 minutes, shots are taken extremely quickly with excellent image quality. Standard recordings, which took 30-45 minutes in old imaging systems, are completed in 5-10 minutes.
