MRI Predictor of Heart Attack/Stroke in Diabetics

9/13/2013

Diabetes affects 347 million people worldwide according to the World Health Organization. Many of these patients are at risk of developing other medical conditions such as heart attack and stroke.

A new study suggests whole body MRI may be a good way to assess these conditions in diabetic patients.  Whole-body MRI is considered a non-invasive tool because experts say this technique is not associated with radiation exposure.

Using this approach, large body areas can be covered without increased risk. Medical experts believe this could speed up effective treatment for these patients.

Along with its prognostic accuracy another advantage of using the whole-body MRI is that it provides unique insights into soft tissue pathology including cerebral and vascular changes such as restricted blood flow to the brain.
