Curious about the development of a baby in the third trimester? Take an inside look at a 33-week-old baby via MRI. Notice how the organs are gently compressed?

Ever wonder what's the difference between all the different head scans (xray, CT, MRI, MRA, PET scan) and what they show in the head. Well wonder no more. The Dr. T easy to understand version...

Xray: shows bone/skull only. Does not show the brain. Best used to detect if there are bone fractures.

CT: quick test. Shows brain but detail not great. Shows if any larger bleed, stroke, lesions, or masses.

MRI: long test. Shows brain and detail is great. Shows smaller bleeds, stroke, lesions, or masses.

MRA: shows the flow of blood in the vasculature system of the brain. If there is vessel narrowing or blockage this test would show it.

PET scan: shows how active different parts of the brain is. An active brain uses sugar as energy and pet scan detects how much sugar is being used by lighting up and turning different colors. The more sugar being used the more that area will light up and be different in colors. Cancer cells use the most sugar so cancer cells light up the most. PET scan is used to see if there are cancer cells. (Cancer cells replicate at a very fast and uncontrolled rate hence use a lot of sugar to allow that replication hence why they light up so much).

A big thanks to everyone who's been there for 3T Radiology and Research since day one. Now, we're recognized as the top radiology center in Florida. We've turned into a Healthcare Technology Company by using advanced Artificial Intelligence software and top-of-the-line hardware, like 3T powered MRI and 640 slice CT scanners. No one else in the state has both of these things together in one spot.

Thank you to everyone who has supported 3T Radiology and Research from the beginning. We are now recognized as the top radiology center in Florida. 3T Radiology has turned into a Healthcare Technology Company due to all the Artificial Intelligenve software we use accompanied by the best hardware available today… 3T powered MRI and 640 slice CT scanners. Nobody in the state has a combination of both under 1 roof.

Figure 1: This is the patients Brain after a craniotomy was performed to remove the cancerous tumor. The black area is where the tumor use to be.

Figure 2: This MRI of the Brain shows an enhancing tumor in the cerebellar hemisphere which is consistent with metastatic disease. The bottom right side of this picture shows the tumor which is unfortunately cancer. The tumor was surgically removed by a neuro surgeon.

As always, 3T MRI is the gold standard for getting the most accurate diagnosis. The clearer images help the radiologist see every detail. Don't get anything less than a 3T rated MRI. Search your local area to find one if you need an MRI. Or, you can always call 3T Radiology and Research.

Chronic microangiopathic ischemic change (CMIC) is a condition that affects the small blood vessels in the brain.

It is caused by a build-up of damage to the blood vessels, which can lead to a decrease in blood flow to the brain.
CMIC is a common condition, especially in older adults. It is estimated that up to 80% of people over the age of 65 have some degree of CMIC.
The condition is often asymptomatic, but it can sometimes lead to serious complications such as stroke or dementia.

This is best seen on a 3T rated MRI scanner. Remember, make sure you only go to a center that has a 3T MRI.

Did you know there’s no radiation when you get an MRI?
