Finally, earlier today I had to have an #MRI with contrast. Unlike the #esophagram and #CTscan, an MRI does NOT use radiation.
For those other scans, metal can interfere with an image being taken by blocking the #xrays.
But the M in MRI stands for #magnetic, so the problem here is with metal and magnets being incompatible with #MedicalImaging.

A few months' later, I had a #CTscan.
Again, metal will interfere with the #MedicalImaging and again, the technicians were initially uncertain if what I was wearing would work.
They agreed to give it a try but warned me I might have to remove it if they couldn't get clear images.
Again, just like the #esophagram #xray, the #CTscan was fine.

Hidden information on abdominal #CTscan of patients with abdominal #sepsis ?
In our monocenter cohort, we were able to predict #AKI using #RadiomicAnalysis of the kidneys during the portal venous phase.
Interesting work led by Louis Boutin, PhD candidate in our team.

My innards after a ascending aortic dissection which also killed off my left kidney. A 12 hour surgery, 12 hour coma and 14 units of blood. Now waiting on my 3rd open heart surgery to replace my aortic root, valve and arch. #cardiac #surgery #aorta #CTScan #kidney #heart #cardiology #cardiologist #openheartsurgery
