The Medical Nightmare MRI machines literally cannot function without liquid helium.  It is the only substance cold enough to keep their massive magnets from overheating and destroying themselves.  Hospitals worldwide are bracing for a reality where life saving diagnostic scans just stop happening.

So, in summary: it is DEFINITELY POSSIBLE to get good-quality #MedicalImaging with the #pt wearing a #metal-free #ElastomericRespirator.

A metal-free elastomeric respirator can be worn with:

- #xrays
- #CTscans
- #MRIs

September is #WorldAlzheimer'sAwarenessMonth. The #science of #brain health is making great strides thanks to #neurologists and other #researchers. Here is a chart, assembled by #UCSF #doctors, explaining the three different #variants of #aphasia that you or a loved one may be experiencing. #MRIs can determine where in the #brain the #damage is happening and correlate it to the type of aphasia. My beloved father, Jerry, who had #early-onset #Alzheimer's, had the #logopenic variant. #EndAlz
