The quick and explosive nature of any car accident may cause personal injury requiring medical treatment, diagnostic tests (x-ray, x rays, mri scan, mri’s, medical imaging, neck or disc tests and scan pictures, personal examination by a doctor, muscle diagnosis, etc.), and other medical treatment.
These are all designed to detect and diagnose the symptoms of serious pain and injuries that injured victims experience in a car accident like a herniated disc, soft tissue damage, broken bones, traumatic brain injury (TBI), and other
Getting an MRI (magnetic resonance imaging) may help spot these injuries. Many personal injury law firms encourage anyone with serious personal injury to their body from a car accident to get an MRI scan and x-rays because these MRIs may show your medical injuries more than other tests.
Why Do Doctors Recommend an MRI for Car Accident Injuries?
Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) is a diagnostic tool used in the medical profession. It used magnetic fields and radio waves to generate images of different areas of your body including tissues, organs, disc, and other bodies.
Plus, an MRI is noninvasive and high resolution. This lets your doctor see what is going on, diagnose you and treat you accordingly and in an easy manner.
The MRI machine itself is big and uses magnets in a variety of tubes. You need to lay within the MRI machine for it to work. The magnetic fields and radio waves briefly contort your body molecules to generate signals that create an image-sometimes 3D image too. These images can be manipulated so the doctor can look at the injury from a myriad of angles.
Here are some common problems that a doctor may want to test you for with an MRI or multiple MRIS:
- Traumatic brain injury
- Tumor
- Stroke
- Multiple sclerosis
- Eye or ear injury
- Spinal cord injury
