MRI Revolution: From Diagnosis to Precision Treatment, Doctors Reveal 5 Key Facts
•MRI, traditionally a diagnostic tool, is now integral to various treatments, guiding doctors in serious illnesses from cancer to neurological disorders.
•Intra-operative MRI allows surgeons real-time tumor removal assessment during surgery, while MRI-guided biopsy ensures precise sample collection.
•MRgFUS (Focused Ultrasound Therapy) uses MRI to precisely locate and destroy tumors without incisions, effective for uterine fibroids and Parkinson's tremors.
•Functional MRI monitors chemotherapy effectiveness, allowing doctors to adjust treatment if tumors aren't shrinking, saving time and reducing side effects.
•Cardiac MRI provides detailed heart structure, muscle activity, and blood flow information, aiding in precise heart damage assessment post-heart attack; MRI-Linac machines ensure precise radiation delivery by adjusting beams in real-time to spare healthy cells.
