Magnetic resonance therapy (MRT) can be an excellent treatment to help alleviate pain, increase circulation, improve sleep quality and support injury recovery. MRT is also used to treat the aftereffects of stroke, Alzheimer’s and Parkinson’s diseases as well as various neurological conditions such as dementia.
Patients suffering from claustrophobia typically benefit from getting an open MRI, which features a wider tunnel that enables them to sit upright during imaging procedures. They may be given medication that will help them relax.
Non-Invasive
Magnetic Resonance Therapy, commonly referred to as MeRT, is a safe and effective noninvasive solution to improve health and wellness. Patients lie comfortably on a treatment table as a device generates magnetic fields which penetrate their bodies – these fields interact with natural electromagnetic properties of cells to enhance communication and healing while remaining entirely pain- and drug-free; some may even feel an initial tingling sensation during this noninvasive therapy session.
MeRT is founded on the fundamentals of physics, which assert that all matter contains atoms with unique electromagnetic properties that vibrate at specific frequencies; MeRT targets these frequencies to produce therapeutic benefits in various conditions. Numerous clinical studies and trials have confirmed its efficacy.
MRI scanners are large cylindrical machines that produce high-quality images of internal structures of the body without using ionizing radiation – unlike X-rays and computed tomography (CT). These images provide valuable diagnostic and treatment information without harming tissue in any way; furthermore they can identify damage due to trauma, infection or disease; detect changes in tissue density not visible through CT or X-ray; as well as detect fluid or abnormal blood flow within tissues.
Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) is an invaluable way to assess soft-tissue injuries affecting muscles, ligaments and tendons, as well as detect any anomalies within the brain, spinal cord and nerves. Furthermore, it’s an excellent way of diagnosing tumors, vascular malformations or any diseases of the central nervous system; also providing greater accuracy than CT or X-ray in detecting certain injuries such as bone fractures or dislocations.
MeRT has become an extremely effective treatment for neuropsychiatric disorders when combined with psychotherapy, making this revolutionary technique one of the best ways to address them. Research is ongoing into MeRT as we hope for its full implementation in our lives; with cutting-edge technology and neuroscience at its fingertips, it gently stimulates areas of the brain in order to optimize function and rewire neural circuits – thus offering hope to many living with neurological conditions that once limited fulfilling lives.
Safe
MeRT uses a noninvasive technique to target areas of the brain that need improvement, using an MRI scan to locate those regions that need focus, then administering low-level magnetic pulses to optimize brain function and achieve positive change in memory function. MeRT represents an exciting breakthrough in neuroscience that may provide relief for symptoms associated with PTSD, depression and anxiety – plus open new possibilities in brain health!
Before beginning their procedure, patients will require imaging tests such as computed tomography (CT) scan and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI). An MRI machine generates its own magnetic field; during an MRI exam, patients lie on a table while radio waves from an MRI scanner pass through their bodies; this information is recorded and combined with computer technology to create images of internal organs. This exam usually lasts up to 30 minutes; prior to taking this step they can eat and drink normally.
Patients with implantable devices such as pacemakers should inform the MRI technician prior to receiving an MRI exam, as electromagnetic fields from an MRI machine can interfere with them and cause “power-on reset” in pacemakers, leading to inappropriate inhibition or delivery of unnecessary defibrillation therapy.
In some instances, an MRI may also affect implantable neurostimulation systems and cochlear implants, so patients wearing them should seek additional advice from their physician prior to proceeding with any procedure. It is typically advised that individuals wearing such devices use earplugs or headsets during an MRI test in order to block out the sound produced during scanning while also providing speakers for communication between technologist and patient.
Safety at an MRI scanner depends both on staff members and security of the magnet room. All people entering an MRI environment are subject to metal detectors and screening. Staff members must also receive adequate training on all safety precautions of an MRI magnet, including proper use of its air filtration system and safe handling of metal objects.
Effective
Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) uses radio waves, magnetic fields and powerful computer technology to produce detailed images of the inside of the human body. An MRI is an extremely safe and non-invasive diagnostic procedure used to detect many conditions, such as cancer, bone injuries, herniated discs and more. Patients lie down while being placed into a large tube that emits its own magnetic field for an examination. MRI machines record how radio waves emitted by an emitter interact with a magnetic field and converts those interactions into images of your body, which are then displayed on a monitor for viewing. Most MRI procedures take between 30 minutes and an hour, during which patients may eat and drink normally and bring any medications they take regularly to their appointment.
MRI imaging techniques such as computed tomography (CT) are often preferred due to the fact they don’t employ any radiation, making MRI an excellent way of studying soft tissues such as organs and muscles. Furthermore, the images produced by MRI can assist doctors in making treatment decisions and potentially improve outcomes while shortening treatment times.
Functional MRI allows scientists to study how different parts of the brain react during cognitive tasks, furthering our knowledge about human minds. While more expensive than CT and x-ray imaging methods, functional MRI provides extremely precise information about its inner workings.
An innovative form of MRI that is ideal for proton therapy has recently been developed, providing physicians with detailed imaging of patient anatomy that allows for more efficient proton treatments plans and improve treatment plans. This type of MRI system is known as an MRI-PLT.
MRI-PLT can improve proton therapy treatments, leading to reduced side effects and better tumor coverage. Furthermore, MRI-PLT can detect changes in tissue density that cannot be seen with traditional x-ray imaging; detect changes such as oedema that cannot be seen through this form of imaging; increase blood flow thus providing more oxygen to tissues for faster healing processes; as well as detect any changes that cannot be detected through regular imaging methods such as CT or PET/CT scans.
The Magnesphere is an innovative relaxation device that utilizes magnetic resonance therapy (MRT). It produces precisely measured magnetic fields which cover every inch of your body during sessions; these correspond with natural magnetic fields produced when your body is at homeostasis – making this much more effective than TMS which offers only one approach to treatment.
Comfortable
MRI imaging is a noninvasive technique that uses magnetism, radio waves, and computer technology to create vivid images of internal body structures. MRI images can show soft tissue such as muscles, ligaments and tendons which may otherwise be hard to see using conventional imaging methods such as CT.
Patients undergoing an MRI typically sit comfortably in a chair as they are guided through the machine at a rate that’s comfortable for them by an experienced technologist. Music or movies may help patients relax during the scan; open MRI may be beneficial if claustrophobia becomes an issue; medications or general anesthesia can also be utilized to ensure patient comfort throughout.
Prior to an MRI exam, patients should wear loose-fitting, comfortable clothing without metal fasteners and remove all jewelry. A radiologist will also provide instruction regarding medical implants like pacemakers. In general, eating and drinking normally should be fine before an MRI; however, specific guidelines may vary depending on what kind of exam is being administered.
Although MRI exams are noninvasive and painless, sitting still for long stretches may become uncomfortable. At Atlantic Health System locations we offer various comfort options to our patients such as warm blankets, earplugs/headphones/music options or soothing music; plus an MRI technician is on-hand for any inquiries about your appointment or concerns that arise about it.
Patients suffering from claustrophobia can opt for a mild sedative prior to their test. We also provide large, wide-bore MRI scanners at most locations that are specially designed to accommodate those who find traditional narrow tunnel and noises of an MRI uncomfortable. Finally, Atlantic Health System’s team of board certified and fellowship-trained radiologists interpret your images and send them back to the physician who referred you for testing.
