Complex conditions are reasons for concern and worry among
patients. Cancer and many other conditions require imaging for proper diagnosis
and treatment. When a diagnosis takes too long to be properly established, it
usually means a nearly impossible route to a cure. Diagnostic imaging is called upon
to try and help avoiding this issue. MRI scans as well CT scans can really
help a person through diagnosis and treatment.
Right now there is a new technology called magnetic
resonance fingerprinting that may lead to faster diagnosis. This MRI technology,
according to the news, “could lead to the use of full-body MRI scans that could quickly
and easily detect heart disease, certain cancers and other diseases before they
become difficult to treat.” It’s basically a way to not only create early
detection but also detection timely enough that will allow a proper manner of
treatment to be explored and used.
A huge and very optimistic outlook has been presented as it was stated,
“The technology has the potential of being incorporated into annual physical examinations,
with the idea that a patient could undergo a full body scan in minutes that
will be able to generate a large amount of diagnostic data that can be easily
interpreted.” This is the kind of technology that’s needed in order to help a
patient in even greater ways.
This technology along with a quality commitment to helping eradicate
disease is something big. The MRI is making huge leaps ahead that not only put
cancer in the cross-hairs of the medical community but they also take greater
steps against other conditions as well. The magnetic resonance fingerprinting
is based on the principle, as state in the article about it, that it “works on
the idea that different types of body tissue, as well as different diseases,
have unique fingerprints that could help quickly diagnose specific problems.”
A patient suffering from a highly complex form of cancer may have a
higher survival rate with this kind of technology in use. Perhaps a patient
suffering from a condition that may have gone undiagnosed for years may
discover it in time to avoid an early grave. Hopefully this technology will be
successfully implemented everywhere.
If you have any questions about MRI scans or any
other diagnostic imaging procedures please feel free to give us a call. We here
at Clermont Radiology look forward to answering any questions you may have.
