Magnetic Resonance Cholangiopancreatography: Treatment, Effects & Risks

Magnetic resonance cholangiopancreatography is a radiological examination method that produces diagnostic results for the field of internal medicine. It provides imaging of the ducts of the gallbladder and pancreas and can detect stone formation, inflammation, or new tissue formation. Because it is noninvasive and does not use contrast agents, the examination is very low-risk. What … Magnetic Resonance Cholangiopancreatography: Treatment, Effects & Risks

MRT for a torn meniscus

The menisci are cartilaginous structures of the knee joint. They are located between the articulating bones, i.e. between the thigh bone (lat. femur) and the lower leg bone (lat. tibia). The menisci serve to establish better contact between the two bones and compensate for the incongruity due to their different shape and curvature. In addition, … MRT for a torn meniscus

Diagnostics of choice – MRT | MRT for a torn meniscus

Diagnostics of choice – MRT With the help of magnetic resonance imaging (or magnetic resonance tomography), the shape and extent of a meniscus tear can be assessed more precisely. The principle of MRI is based on the magnetic properties of individual atomic nuclei in our body, each of which has a certain characteristic intrinsic angular … Diagnostics of choice – MRT | MRT for a torn meniscus
