متن کاملMR Imaging of Desmoid Tumors
Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) is the modality of choice for imaging desmoid tumors in most cases. MRI uses a series of complex, changing magnetic fields and low energy electromagnetic pulses (radiofrequency waves) to create images of the body. Unlike x-rays and CT scans, MRI emits no ionizing radiation. The standard MR imaging sequences that are used for soft tissue tumor imaging at my insti...
