 PAGE \* MERGEFORMAT 7 Enhanced MRI scans Nursing [Keywords:] magnetic resonance imaging; enhanced scanning; Care Very good soft tissue resolution of MRI, without contrast agents can show a lot when CT can not show lesions. The use of MRI contrast agent, the better display small lesions and T1WI, T2WI relaxation time and the normal structure of the lesion [1], clearly identify the scope of lesion size, the nature of the lesion [2], so enhanced MRI scans are often used to Check into. According to our clinical practice, nursing now reported as follows: A clinical data And methods of our department from January 2003 to December 2004, line enhanced MRI scans of patients 1 876 passengers, 921 cases of male and female 955 cases, aged 7 to 93 years old, 921 cases of brain lesions, abdomen (liver, gall bladder , spleen, pancreas, kidney, pelvic) 742 cases of space-occupying lesions, other (limbs, spinal) lesion site 164 patients, MRA (lower limb blood vessels, abdominal aorta) 49 cases, using the GE Signa 1.5T superconductive MR instrument.
