In a mini-stroke, normal flow of blood to the brain returns quickly Symptoms of a TIA usually subside within an hour In a proper stroke, brain is oxygen-deprived for a longer period

A dialysis centre is also being set up at the Guru Harkrishan Hospital in the gurdwara premises. A dialysis procedure will cost only Rs 600, DSGMC president Manjinder Singh Sirsa said. Diagnostic machines worth Rs 6 crore were donated to the hospital. These include four machines for dialysis, and a machine each for ultrasound, X-Ray and MRI, he said. Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) services will be available for the needy for just Rs 50. For others, an MRI scan will cost Rs 800. A committee of doctors has been set up to decide who needs a concession, Sirsa said.

"Initially, 10-15 minutes passed by but no staff was there and after half an hour, I started to struggle in order to get out. After some time, the belt broke and I managed to make my way out of the machine," Mehar stated. "Had I stayed inside for more than 25 seconds, I would have died," he added.

Ahead of the release of his film "Paltan", actor Arjun Rampal has injured his ligament in an accident.

The research indicates that patients with high blood pressure are at a higher risk of developing dementia

Rajesh Maru had entered the MRI room with an oxygen cylinder to help an elderly patient. Metals are not allowed inside the MRI room. 

The results suggest that for this population, intensive efforts to "downstage" aggressive breast cancer by finding small early lesions in women with high-risk mutations are crucial to improving outcomes.

 Delhi Health Minister Satyendar Jain on Saturday said that Delhi residents can avail the facility of MRI, PET and CT scan tests for free at 21 private laboratories after showing referral letter from the selected 30 government hospitals.

Breast lumps can be caused by infections, injuries, cancer, breast cysts, etc.

A new study says that Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) during early stages of woman's pregnancy does not increase the risk of baby's stillbirth, or death soon after the birth, or the baby being born with defects,

Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) during the first trimester of woman's pregnancy does not increase the risk of baby's stillbirth, or death soon after the birth, or the baby being born with defects, says a study.

The new class of molecular tags can enhance MRI signals by 10,000-fold and generate detectable signals that last over an hour. 

 For mothers-to-be, going for an MRI of the cervix area can give more accurate results than ultrasound to predict if some women will give a preterm birth, say researchers.

 Researchers employed a magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) technique called "diffusion tensor imaging" on 36 healthy participants and 47 schizophrenic participants.

 Children who are left without direct parental care for extended periods of time show larger gray matter volumes in the brain and may also show delay in brain development, according to a new study.

People with diabetes may be harbouring advanced vascular disease that could increase their risk of stroke, researchers warn.

 The brain cannot be palpated without using a highly invasive procedure, but researchers have now developed a noninvasive brain imaging method using magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) that provides the same information as physical palpation.
