Benefits of MRI for Pleural Mesothelioma
- High-Resolution Images: MRI provides high-resolution images that can reveal detailed information about soft tissues, which is crucial for assessing mesothelioma.
- Multiplanar Imaging: MRI can produce images in multiple planes (axial, sagittal, and coronal), allowing for a comprehensive view of the chest and surrounding areas.
- No Ionizing Radiation: Unlike CT scans and X-rays, MRI does not use ionizing radiation, making it a safer option for repeated imaging.
