high-detailed images. The study appears in the September issue of the American Journal of Roentgenology. Whole-body MRI features high safety profile as the technique does not involve using radiation to generate images; instead, it uses a magnetic field, radio frequency pulses, and a computer to produce its images of internal organs, bones and other musculoskeletal structures. Diagnosing abuse depends mainly on detecting skeletal injuries, along with using high-quality skeletal surveys to detect any high-specificity fractures that might be seen in cases of infant abuse. However, subcutaneous tissue and muscle injuries are not currently evaluated with imaging techniques in living children.

Whole Body MRI To Detect Child Abuse In Infants
According to a new study, whole-body magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) can be used for detecting child abuse in infants. MRI is well-known for its accuracy and high-detailed images. The study appears in the September issue of the American Journal of Roentgenology. Whole-body MRI features high safety profile as the technique does not involve using radiation to generate images; instead, it uses a magnetic field, radio frequency pulses, and a computer to produce its images of internal organs, bones and other musculoskeletal structures.
