So when we think about an MRI.

0:04

An MRI is particularly good as a sort

0:07

of complementary sort of diagnostic tool

0:10

in addition to CT in order to sort of

0:13

further characterize the area the lesion in question.

0:17

So it really supports greater visualization

0:20

of soft tissue characteristics, which you can see in this

0:23

gastrocolic metastasis on the MRI to

0:26

the right. So the signals that the MRI affords

0:29

allows us to sort of really appreciate the

0:32

characteristics of the

0:35

tissue in question.

0:37

So by clinically correlating the T1 and 22

0:40

sequences, we can actually ascertain the

0:43

Acuity versus the chronicity of the

0:46

area in question. Perhaps it's active

0:49

inflammation or edema.

0:51

Perhaps there's fat content. Perhaps is

0:54

fluid.

0:55

Serous versus kylas all very important

0:58

things as we evaluate the area in

1:01

question.
