Service Providers for MRI of sleep Apnea
An MRI of sleep apnea is used to visualize the upper airway and identify anatomical causes of sleep apnea, such as obstructions in the throat, nose, or jaw. While sleep apnea is usually diagnosed with sleep studies, an MRI can help assess structures like the soft palate, tonsils, and tongue. The procedure requires no special preparation, though metal objects must be removed. During the scan, you will lie still in the MRI machine for 20-30 minutes. It is painless, and you can resume normal activities afterward. A radiologist will interpret the results.
