Summary
This webpage tells about the MRI machine used today at the Mayo Clinic. It
lists what the uses for it are and how the MRI aligns the body to produce an
image. It also tells you how to prepare and what to expect when you do get an
MRI scan.
Author’s Intent/Audience
The author’s intent is to tell readers how to prepare and what to expect
when getting an MRI scan. The audience is anyone who is preparing to get a scan
or is just curious about how a MRI works.
Evidence/Supports
The MRI machine creates a strong magnetic field around you, and
radio waves are directed at your body. The procedure is painless.
It produces high-resolution images that help diagnose a variety of
problems.
Fallacies/Biases
N/A
Opinion
This is a great useful webpage because
it gives patients an idea about what is going to happen in case they had to get
a MRI scan. Coming from experience, having at least 5 MRIs on my brain this was
helpful because no one in my family has had one previous to me and I was
scared.
Good topic idea for me?
I think this is a good topic idea for
me because after high school I want to do something in the medical field, and
with experiencing MRIs being a radiologist, a doctor who interprets MRIs
is a possible career choice for me.
Good topic idea for you?
Depending on the person, if you are
not interested in the medical field one bit I do not suggest this for you. If
you are interested in how MRIs works then I would highly suggest this for you.
