Medical Diagnosis Of Mesothelioma MRI  PET CT Scanning And X-ray

Scanners
If a person has symptoms of mesothelioma such as dysphagia, difficulty in breathing, pleural or peritoneal effusion, chest pain or wheezing, it is important to undergo a medical examination to make a diagnosis that these symptoms.

Doctors use additional diagnostic techniques for the doctor correctly diagnosed the problem for them. These can be a PET scanner, a CT scan or X-ray If the scanner indicates that the patient has mesothelioma biopsy to confirm the diagnosis is performed.

Common types of scanners
Previous exposure to asbestos accompanied by these symptoms involve the use of scanners pose a diagnostic tool for peritoneal, pericardial or pleural mesothelioma.

Taking images of tissue through electromagnetic waves, these tests can reproduce images of the area. These pictures can show the area between the tissue where the cancer tissue is generating for that magnetic fields in the magnetization can be changed using electromagnetic waves, thereby allowing clear images are generated.

These tests may show malignant area that differs from healthy tissue. They are not harmful since they do not use ionizing radiation when used in CT scanners and the X-rays It also makes a better contrast of cancerous tissue compared to normal tissue, compared to the CT scanner, thus giving a more accurate diagnosis.

Combining its ability to provide better images and low risk of magnetism, MRI is the best way to diagnose mesothelioma, the principle being to make the best prognosis of mesothelioma.

Tools for Imaging

MRI
Magnetic resonance is a common tool used by doctors to determine if the patient has mesothelioma. It was also used to identify the stage of the cancer.

scannerPET
PET is a type of scanning technique of nuclear medicine. It allows the doctor to get a 3D image of the area with information about tissue function.

CT scanning
The CT, also called computerized tomography, produces an image of the area from different angles.

X-ray
X-rays commonly used by physicians, are methods for diagnosing the condition can occur in certain areas of the body. It also determines if another diagnostic method is needed. X-rays are commonly used to diagnose pleural mesothelioma.
