  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.

    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.

  5. 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.

    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.)

    utilizes a customized ultrasound and is extremely effective.

    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.

    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.
