“Cardiac ultrasound to nuclear imaging to cardiac CT to here,” said Dr. Chris Hanson. “It very much compliments and completes our portfolio of cardiac imaging here at Sparrow.” The New MRI Machine Looks directly into a human heart, the course of treatment will be more efficient at targeting healthy tissues without using ionizing radiation.
There are all kinds of different way to do medical imaging that range from tradition X-ray imaging which is the first way we were able to image the human body to ultrasounds clear imaging techniques,” Hanson said. “Ultrasound doesn’t require radiation, but CT imaging and X-ray imaging does. So, MRI was invented and pioneered in the 1970s and became a mainstream imaging technique in the 1990s. It doesn’t actually require any ionizing radiation.
New Cardiovascular MRI Imaging Machine, Safer Than Ever Before
Sparrow Hospital has announced the new technique for an MRI (Magnetic Resin Imaging) machine. For, Cardiovascular health that’s completely new to the community in Lansing, Michigan. Applying comprehensive and thorough imaging of a person’s heart, it’s actually letting you see directly into the heart. There is a New Technique with the MRI Imaging Machine. The New MRI Machine Looks directly into a human heart.
The technique the machine applies is able to clearly map out the heart without using radiation like x-rays and bypass some cases where surgery would have deemed necessary. The New Cardiovascular MRI Imaging machine has simply, been made safe for the patients and non-toxic. Ionizing radiation is probably not off the table, but it will most likely catch on across our States and medical fields.
Cardiologist, Dr. Christopher Hanson said he is ” proud of the advancements of the Sparrow Health System”. It will allow doctors to look closer at the characteristics from tissues that may have been requested for a biopsy. The New Cardiovascular MRI Imaging machine wasn’t the only advancement Sparrow Hospital made this month.
