What is magnetic resonance imaging and why have it done in Medellín?
Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) is the most advanced imaging technique available for medical diagnosis. It uses an intense magnetic field and radiofrequency waves to generate high-resolution images of the interior of the human body without any ionizing radiation. This makes it especially well-suited for soft tissue structures such as the brain, spinal cord, ligaments, articular cartilage, intervertebral discs, and abdominal and pelvic organs. In Medellín, MDE Care's partner centers have 1.5 and 3 Tesla MRI units. The 3T unit offers greater spatial and signal resolution, making it especially indicated for detailed neurological studies, spinal cord, small joints, and oncology. The price of an MRI in Medellín ranges from $150 to $300 USD depending on the area and protocol, compared to $1,000 to $3,000 USD in the United States. Savings can reach 75% with the same diagnostic quality.
