NCIt synonyms : Medical Imaging, Magnetic Resonance / Nuclear Magnetic Resonance; NMR Imaging; Magnetic Resonance Imaging Scan; MR Imaging;
NCIt related terms : NMRI; MRI; nuclear magnetic resonance imaging; MR; MRI Scan; Magnetic Resonance; Magnetic resonance imaging (procedure); MRIs; sMRI; Structural MRI;
NCIt definition : Imaging that uses radiofrequency waves and a strong magnetic field rather than x-rays
to provide detailed pictures of internal organs and tissues. The technique is valuable
for the diagnosis of many pathologic conditions, including cancer, heart and vascular
disease, stroke, and joint and musculoskeletal disorders.;
Alternative definition : NCI-GLOSS: A procedure in which radio waves and a powerful magnet linked to a computer
are used to create detailed pictures of areas inside the body. These pictures can
show the difference between normal and diseased tissue. NMRI makes better images of
organs and soft tissue than other scanning techniques, such as computed tomography
(CT) or x-ray. NMRI is especially useful for imaging the brain, the spine, the soft
tissue of joints, and the inside of bones.; CDISC: Imaging that uses radiofrequency waves and a strong magnetic field rather than
x-rays to provide amazingly clear and detailed pictures of internal organs and tissues.
The technique is valuable for the diagnosis of many pathologic conditions, including
cancer, heart and vascular disease, stroke, and joint and musculoskeletal disorders.;
