What is a 3D MRI?

Usually the images are 2-dimensional, where the MRI images are usually presented in slices from top to bottom. However, using sophisticated computer calculation, these 2-dimensional slices can be joined together to produce a 3-dimensional model of the area of interest being scanned. This is called 3D MRI.

What are the indications for a 3D MRI?

Indications. orthopaedic conditions, such as shoulder injury, hip injury. 3D MRI can provide clearer information for certain conditions, such as hepatobiliary pathology, cardiovascular pathology and even orthopaedic injury. Sometimes 3D reconstruction of the nervous system (particularly the brain) is done.

What is an MRI scan?

MRI (magnetic resonance imaging) is a diagnostic technique used to create images of the body like a CT. It is non-invasive (It does not enter the body cavity) and requires no radiation, instead it is based on the magnetic fields of the hydrogen atoms in the body.

What is non-invasive MRI?

It is non-invasive (It does not enter the body cavity) and requires no radiation, instead it is based on the magnetic fields of the hydrogen atoms in the body. By scanning the body, MRI is able to provide computer-generated images of the body’s internal tissues and organs.
