The MRI (Magnetic Resonance Imaging) device is a diagnostic method that captures images using magnetic waves and does not emit radiation. The power of MRI devices is measured in a unit called tesla, and as the tesla power increases, the image quality improves. In Tekden Hospital, there is a powerful and modern 1.5-tesla Siemens MRI device.
This MRI device allows the diagnosis of conditions such as brain hemorrhages, vascular blockages, brain tumors, vascular malformations, and fluid accumulations. It can also help identify the causes of symptoms such as headaches, ringing in the ears, and decreased hearing and vision.
The MRI device enables three-dimensional imaging of the brain, spinal cord, neck, back, shoulders, knees, ankles, and other joints, as well as the abdomen, arms, and legs. It can diagnose meniscus tears, injuries to ligaments and tendons in the knee, and bone particles known as joint mice in the knee area.
The shoulder region is challenging to image with other techniques, but with our 1.5-tesla MRI device, the shoulder joint, joint capsule, and shoulder muscles can be visualized beautifully.
Common issues of the modern era, such as herniated discs in the back and neck, and spinal cord masses, can be displayed in three dimensions.
Abdominal organs like the liver, spleen, kidneys, pancreas, and adrenal glands can be imaged, and diseases can be diagnosed. Additionally, our hospital is the only one in Kayseri where DIFFUSION, MYELO, and BRAIN ANGIO MRIs are performed.
