Mobile Magnetic Resonance Imaging – MRI or MR

The Basics:

Our mobile Philips MRI consists of the use of very powerful magnets arranged in a ring configuration. A person, placed inside this ring is subjected to this intense, but harmless magnetic field.

Every cell of the human body carries some portion of hydrogen protons. The relative concentration of these protons varies based upon the type and composition of a particular tissue within the body. These protons carry a minute magnetic field and a directional spin characteristic.
Ordinarily, these Hydrogen Protons spin in random ways. Subject them to a strong magnetic field, and they will align in a coherent way.

In our mobile Philips mri a radio wave, tuned to the frequency of the aligned Hydrogen Protons, is pulsed, reflected, and read by a radio receiver. This information is translated into an image of the area scanned.

Gradients of tissue density, clear images of damaged tissue, tumors, and the even functionality of various organs can be discerned. All of this is achieved with no damage to tissue or discomfort to the patient.
This technology was first used on a patient in a clinical setting July 3, 1977. It took hours to conduct the scan and the first images were difficult to read - however they represented a coming new order of noninvasive medicine.
Advances in targeting specific tissues and the increasing processing power of the associated computer technology has made the MRI procedure ever more efficient and comprehensive.
The magnet strength of an MRI unit, in one our mobile Philips MRI, is proportional to how effective it is. Magnetic strength is gaged by large a unit of measure called a tesla. Smaller increments of magnetic power are called gauss. Simply put, 10,000 gauss equals one tesla. At present, MRI units used in most clinics and our mobile Philips MRI range from .5 tesla to 3 tesla units of strength. At these levels, all metallic objects of a ferrous or magnetic quality must be kept from the imaging equipment. The intrusion of even a small metallic object impelled by the attractive force of such equipment could prove to be a fatal projectile for either the patient or technician.
