RM EsternónRM Esternón

This non-invasive diagnostic procedure uses an electromagnetic field and radio waves (from a transmitter and receiver) to acquire high-definition anatomical images of the sternum. It is a radiation-free procedure. It is used to differentiate between benign and malignant lesions in patients with pain in the sternocostal joints, etc. Sometimes paramagnetic contrast (gadolinium) must be used to complete the study.
