General principles of magnetic resonance

• The more accurately the request form is filled in, and the greater the detail given on the form and specification of the clinic’s requirement, the more complete and detailed may be the MR examination and its conclusion!
• Please send the patient for the MR examination with all available previous X-ray, CT and MR documentation (not only analyses) and results of examinations previously performed
• The area of the stomach and certain pathological states of the skeleton tend to be the domain of the CT, but not always – it is better to discuss special indications directly at the MR site with a doctor
• For an MR examination it is absolutely essential that the patient remain completely still for the duration of the examination (20 to 40 minutes).
• The doctor of the magnetic resonance workplace will always designate the precise method and means of the investigation (including application of contrast agent) after an analysis of the clinical and case history data and also in the course of the examination depending on the results of the initial sequence of investigations.

Indication list for magnetic resonance (MR) examination

Neurology

Brain (all intracranial pathological processes, intra- and extracerebral)

• - birth developmental defects
• - inflammations
• - primary and metastasis tumours
• - post-traumatic changes
• - demyelinisation diseases, degenerative diseases of vascular aetiology
• - pathology of cerebral arteries and veins – in case of suspicion of blockage, stenosis or aneurism
• - but MRAG cannot replace a conventional angiogram for the evaluation of fine vascular changes

Types of possible required examinations:

• - MR examination of brain, posterior cranial fossa, hypophysis
• - MRAG of intracranial bloodstream (arterial or venous)

Backbone and spinal chord (all intraspinal and spinal pathological processes)

• - birth developmental defects
• - inflammations
• - primary and metastasis tumours (intradural, extradural)
• - post-traumatic changes
• - demyelisation and degenerative diseases
• - diseases of vascular aetiology

Types of possible required examinations:

• - MR examination of C, Th, LS spine (it is advantageous to specify the stage of the neurological finding)

Ophthalmology

• intra- and extraocular pathological processes

• - inflammations
• - tumours
• - endocrinopathy
• - degenerative diseases

Types of possible required examinations:

• - MR examination of orbit

ORL

• MR of area of basis cranii, os petrosum (in particular soft tissue part), paranasal sinuses.

Orthopaedics

Types of possible required examinations:

• - MR examination of shoulder and knee joint

Gynaecology

Types of possible required examinations:

• - MR examination of pelvis minor (specify area of interest)

Urology

• pathologicäl processes in suprarenal area, kidneys and male reproductive organs

• - birth developmental defects
• - inflammations
• - tumours

Types of possible required examinations:

• - MR examination of kidneys, retroperitoneum

Surgery

• pathological states of parenchymatous organs of the abdominal cavity and retroperitoneum. (in particular focal processes of the liver)

• - evaluation of biliary ducts (a sonogram examination should precede this)

Types of possible required examinations:
