  2. Top Myths about MRI Scans in Delhi Myth: Radiation Exposure from MRIs creates multiple side effects Real fact: People always worry about the radiation side effects when it comes to radio imaging. But, the fear originated in earlier years where they undergo first time diagnosis using basic CT & MRI scanners. But, these days, things changed and the diagnostic centers are digitalized & the amount of radiation used on any scanners is very low. MRI Scanners use magnetic fields with radio signals for imaging the internal body structures, hence there is no any radiation emitted and no need of worrying about MRI scans appointments. www.bookmyscans.com

  3. Myth: MRIs are only good for Body Injuries Real fact: MRI Scans are popularly used by professional athlete injuries; it doesn’t mean it is only for soft tissues like musculoskeletal injuries. It is also used for assessing mental conditions such as Alzheimer’s disease and bipolar disorders. With new advancements in MRI scan machines, it can also detect abnormalities of nerve paths in brain & identifies certain cancer cells with its impact. www.bookmyscans.com

  4. Myth: MRI machines are dangerous and causes injuries Real fact: It has strong magnets and when you wear such magnetic objects or objects that become magnetic it might be a bit painful. But nothing to worry, you will be examined and radiologists confirm whether you are eligible for MRI scans. And if you wear any kind of internal devices like pacemakers or some other medical implants, you have to inform the radiologists before undergoing MRI Scans. Trained radiologists will guide on how to tackle on such situations and there are special advancements on undergoing MRI scans even if you have such medical implants. www.bookmyscans.com

  5. Myth: We can identify which part of the brain is functioning well (functions like reading, writing, memory, creativity) Real fact: In general, radiologists are able to interpret the scan reports right after the MRI scanners generated images. But, looking at brain function is a kind of separate issue and such type of scan might differ. You can identify some critical conditions like memory loss or something like that. Hence, it is a kind of experimental research work and not about diagnosis where you will not be able to identify it properly. Many scientists are actually doing research work with functional MRI’s and it is not able to identify the brain functional things like reading, writing, memory, creativity under diagnosis MRI Scans. www.bookmyscans.com

  6. Myth: MRI Machines affect Tattoos Real Fact: What is more important than your health? The above myth is partially true, but not all tattoos are affected with MRI scans. If you have tattoos, you have to check with the radiologists about the risks. Some women use permanent metallic tattoos in their eye lines for cosmetic purpose where in such case problem arises while undergoing MRI scans. If your tattoo inks don’t have metallic inks, then there is no problem for doing MRI Scans. www.bookmyscans.com

  7. Myth: Claustrophobic people can’t do a MRI Real Fact: Some people are more nervous than usual and they are claustrophobic when they are getting inside the tube like MRI machines. There are open MRI’s in the Scan centers, but even if you are in a situation to undergo closed MRI scans, you don’t need to worry about that. Radiologists will always communicate with you and in order to get rid of hearing Whirr sounds of MRI machines, you will be connected to headphones with soft music. Hence claustrophobic patients can also undergo MRI Scans. www.bookmyscans.com

  8. Myth: Contrast MRI scans damage kidneys Real Fact: The contrast agent used for detailed MRI scans are very mild and it is safe when it is filtered by the kidneys. But, if you had any history of kidney problem or if you take any medications for it, then radiologists will suggest you the alternate diagnosis method. Otherwise, nothing to worry about taking such contrast material for detailed MRI Scans. www.bookmyscans.com

  9. Yes. There is nothing to fear! MRI Scans are very safe for your diagnosis needs. www.bookmyscans.com
