| 1. Advantages |
| ¡DPerformable on almost all parts of the body, particularly
on soft tissues. ¡DGets sectional views of all structures and tissues without invading the human body to reduce the risk of infection. ¡DMultidimensional scanning, 3D imaging with high-contrast resolution. ¡DRadiation-free, suitable for children and even pregnant women. ¡DNo need for full-body scan so as to largely reduce the patient pain and provide surgeons with as much information as possible about the patient's condition before an operation. |
| 2. Disadvantages |
| ¡DLong examination time is the biggest problem of MRI. Also,
patients need to stay absolutely immobile during the scan in order not to
affect the quality of images. ¡DMRI is not perfect. When using it, radiofrequency pulse enters the human body in order to trace how it affects the magnetic behavior of tissue. Therefore, it is necessary to carefully ¡Dcontrol the radiofrequency pulse in order to prevent it from burning human tissue and harming the patient. |
