When could you need an MRI scan Maybe a test for Cancer?
The use of MRI for cancer screening can be used for all cancer types, here in the UK the test is limited by cost. MRI is often considered the safer option for detection, as it doesn't rely on radiation beams. As I work in the UK we tend to use MRI for the following cancers; brain, primary bone cancer, soft tissue cancer, and spinal cord tumours. One of the main reasons for MRI is not only location but also depth of the cancerous growth. So we can measure the amount of soft tissue that surrounds the cancer, required for safer and more effective radiotherapy, it helps preserve healthy tissue. MRI can be used to 'stage' the cancer and monitor the spread or growth rate, or if the tumour has developed a blood supply, which could prevent surgical intervention.
