What are veins, vessels and arteries?
Closed MRI's have three types and open MRIs have three types. Choose open or closed... the three types are...
Open: Traditional open, Sit Down, Stand up (0.3T-1.2T)
Closed: High Field, Open Bore, Traditional Closed (1.5T - 3.0T up tp 7T but that's rare).
MRI Arthrogram is a three part body scan. These are the three parts.
What are body part, needle injection and fluoroscopy?
