About Chest MRI

During Chest MRI, detailed pictures of the chest cavity are produced using powerful magnetic fields and radiofrequency pulses. Clear images of the chest wall, pleura, heart, vessels, and mediastinum are produced with Chest MRI. Chest MRI also provides sequential imaging of the cardiovascular system. This helps assess the health and function of structures like the heart, valves, great vessels, etc. 

What does a Chest MRI detect?  

Chest MRI detects abnormalities in the tissues and other organs without incision. Doctors suggest Chest MRI to check  

  • Abnormalities in the Heart
  • Lung Problems (empyema, pleural thickening)
  • Detects Tumors/ lumps
  • Determines tumor size, extent, and the degree of spread to adjacent structures.
  • Evaluate blood flow
  • Problems affecting Lymph Nodes
  • Blood Vessel problems (blocked, narrow, wide, or damaged blood vessel)
  • Fractures in Sternum
  • Infections in the bones, muscles, and soft tissue
  • Enlarged Lymph nodes

One may need Chest MRI if they are suffering from symptoms like chest pain and breathlessness. It guides doctors to plan treatment by detecting abnormalities. Chest MRI further shows how well treatments like chemotherapy are working.

How to Prepare for a Chest MRI 

Patients should wear loose-fitting clothes, and in a few cases, you will be asked to change into a hospital gown. People should remove all the metal objects they are wearing before going for the test. As MRI uses powerful magnets, they attract metal objects.  

People should inform their doctor if they have any metal implants like

  • Artificial heart valves
  • Brain aneurysm clips
  • Ear implants
  • Plates
  • Screws
  • Staples
  • Vascular stents

Chest MRI is considered safe and is a painless procedure. Chest MRI is highly recommended as it shows organs without blockage by bone and foreign bodies. It also shows the tissues from multiple angles and evaluates blood flow without invasive procedures.
