  1. It appears that there are some people here who don't understand what an MRI
    is. They have
    confused it with a procedure. A MRI is a machine used to take picture such
    as a bone scan
    picture. Here is the explanation for your enlightenment...

    Spammin' Dave, you are partly right. There are MRIs and there are bone
    scans. One has to know the difference. Obviously,, since you use the terms
    interchangeably, which is incorrect, you do not. I do not make this mistake
    for several reasons.

    Firstly, I have been to Fonar Corp. a few times.
    Secondly, my family has had several MRIs.
    Thirdly, my mother had two bone scans.
    Fourthly, I do not get my knowledge from a used box of ginseng while waiting
    for a cleanse to take effect.

    For more information about *bone scans* read:

  3. Well, what you say is wondeful, but what you have failed o grasp is that I
    went to a center that
    used a MRI technology based machine to do a bone scan.

    So blathering on and on about all you know about this subject is still lame.

    The small hospital where I work has five kinds of imaging available. While
    four of the five, X-ray, C.T. scan, MRI, and nuclear medicine are often used
    to look at bones, only the nuclear medicine procedure is commonly referred
    to as a "bone scan." (The fifth type of imaging, ultrasound, is not very
    useful for bone diagnosis; it images soft tissues and blood flow.) I have
    never heard a doctor, nurse, or radiology technician refer to an MRI image
    as a "bone scan."

    Here is a good lay explanation of a bone scan. Note that it is NOT an MRI.

    You may well have gotten an MRI to examine bone tissue. That is a common

    Your stubborn insistence on calling an MRI procedure a bone scan just

    What I said.

    He would probably call a a bird that walked like a duck, quacked like a
    duck, and pooped like a duck, a chicken, because the duck fouled the area.

    (Note that I live in a fouled water fowl protective area.)

    customized ultrasound and is extremely effective.

  9. Can you explain me what the exact difference is between MRI and a bone scan?
    And, why is it so important to have that difference straight?

    Spammin' Dave claims he had a *bone scan* which showed his conditions that
    most intelligent people claim does not exist. However, he used the term
    *bone scan* interchangeably with *MRI* which is a completely different
    procedure, and, for anyone with half a brain, impossilbe to confuse. Sort of
    like confusing lethal injection and using old sparky.

    Now, in his most recent uttering on the topic, instead of clearing up
    anything, he mentions *untrasound* which is generally useless to see what is
    going on inside of a bone.

    Dave's fluffering is demonstrative i fhis overall lack o fknowledge of even
    the most fundamental medical procedures, etc. IIRC,at one time, he did not
    even know that distinction between arteries and veins. Thus, by the use of
    his own words, which, in MHA is the ultimate alternative from of proof, he
    has demonstrated a complete lack of knowledge.

    However, his demonstrated lack of knowledge has never stopped him from
    pontificaing on matters of medicane and health.

    I hope this puts everything into focus, regardless of whether you use an
    MRI, bone scan or ultrasound.

  11. There is absolutely no difference in the value of an MRI or bone scan
    because neither one
    has the ability to show a jawbone cavitation. The only way it can be seen is
    with a custom
    ultrasound 3D imaging system called a Cavitat Scan.

    The term MRI (magnetic resonance imaging) is also used to refer to the
    images or scan produced by an MRI machine, as in ordering an MRI for a
    patient.

    Quite correct you are.

    If a truly effective healing medicine was ever produced, the medical monopoly
    would lose billions in repeat medical evaluations and repeat prescriptions.

    In addition, anything not patentable or produced by the medical monopoly must
    be attacked and destroyed lest it erode the profit base already established.
