This analysis is offered to 100 participants of the TMC project for free starting January 2021. Participants will be contacted by telephone to set an appointment date. Among the advantages of performing this analysis are:<\/p>\n<ol style=\"text-align: justify;\">\n<li>A Whole Body Scan worth RM800 is offered free of charge<\/li>\n<li>Participants will get the results body composition (percentage of fat and muscle) of the whole body in the form of interactive and colourful display<\/li>\n<li>The procedure is very safe.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><strong>What is MRI &amp; how does it work?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) technique is a safe scan that provides information about the composition in a person&#8217;s body. It provides analysis on body fat percentage, muscle mass and lean body mass (similar to DEXA). If DEXA uses X-rays, MRI uses a magnetic field to determine the composition in a person&#8217;s body. The MRI machine is a large tube-shaped machine. Participants will be laid on a table and inserted into the MRI machine. A magnetic field will be applied and the image will be processed by a computer. The figure below shows an example of an MRI machine.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-4921 aligncenter\" src=\"http:\/\/www.ukm.my\/mycohort\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/MRI-Cohort-300x227.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"300\" height=\"227\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.ukm.my\/mycohort\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/MRI-Cohort-300x227.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.ukm.my\/mycohort\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/MRI-Cohort.jpg 723w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\">1) MRI Image (<a href=\"https:\/\/images.search.yahoo.com\/search\/images;_ylt=Awr9EmnBzNJfw5IAVxFXNyoA\">https:\/\/images.search.yahoo.com\/search\/images;_ylt=Awr9EmnBzNJfw5IAVxFXNyoA<\/a>)<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><strong>What are the preparations for this procedure?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">The general criteria in order to perform the scan:<\/p>\n<ol style=\"text-align: justify;\">\n<li>Not pregnant<\/li>\n<li>Had not undergone any procedure using counter reagents (such as iodine, barium, etc.) for radiological procedures such as MRI, CT-Scan, PET-Scan within 7 days<\/li>\n<li>Do not have any iron implants, pacemakers, radioactive seeds or staples, foreign materials such as metal fragments, catheters, or opaque tubes in the body<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">For more accurate results, you should make sure that you are well hydrated and not have any food in your stomach (at least three hours from your last meal).<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">You will be asked to wear a special gown and lie down comfortably on the scan table. The scanning procedure will be performed in a closed room and will take about 45 minutes to complete. You are asked not to move much while in the MRI machine. Movement will interfere with the scan resulting in poor-quality images.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">The results of body composition analysis will be used to validate the results using DEXA.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><strong>What are the risks and side effects of MRI?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">MRI technique is a painless radiological method and the advantage of this method is that it does not use x-ray radiation. The side effects of MRI are unknown. However, it is very appropriate and provides accurate data to determine any abnormalities in the body. Participants who know that they have a history of \u2018claustrophobia\u2019 (fear of small and confined spaces) may not be able to undergo this MRI test. If participants do not know whether they have \u2018claustrophobia\u2019 (fear of small places and confinement), there is a button in the MRI machine that can be pressed to call the staff if you feel uncomfortable \/ safe to undergo this test.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><strong>References:<\/strong><\/p>\n<ol>\n<li style=\"text-align: justify;\">MRI Image (<a href=\"https:\/\/images.search.yahoo.com\/search\/images;_ylt=Awr9EmnBzNJfw5IAVxFXNyoA\">https:\/\/images.search.yahoo.com\/search\/images;_ylt=Awr9EmnBzNJfw5IAVxFXNyoA<\/a>)<\/li>\n<li style=\"text-align: justify;\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.medicinenet.com\/mri_scan\/article.htm\">https:\/\/www.medicinenet.com\/mri_scan\/article.htm<\/a><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<hr style=\"height: 2px; border-width: 0; color: gray; background-color: gray;\" \/>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><strong><u>ANALISIS KOMPOSISI BADAN MENGGUNAKAN MRI <\/u><\/strong><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><strong>Disediakan oleh<\/strong>: Prof. Madya Dr. Nor Azian Abdul Murad, Pengarah dan Felo Penyelidik UMBI<br \/>\n<strong>Disemak oleh<\/strong>: Prof. Madya Dr. Rozman Zakaria, Pakar Perunding Radiologi, Ketua Jabatan, Jabatan Perkhidmatan Radiologi, Fakulti Perubatan UKM<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><strong>Pengenalan<\/strong><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Projek The Malaysian Cohort (TMC), Institut Perubatan Molekul UKM (UMBI) melalui kolaborasi penyelidikan bersama University of Oxford, UK akan menawarkan Analisis Komposisi Badan menggunakan <em>Magnetic Resonance Image<\/em> (MRI).

Ia memberikan analisis berkenaan peratus lemak dalam tubuh, jisim otot dan jisim tubuh tanpa lemak (sama seperti DEXA). Jika DEXA menggunakan sinaran-X, MRI menggunakan medan magnet untuk menentukan komposisi di dalam badan seseorang. Mesin MRI merupakan mesin yang besar berbentuk tiub. Peserta akan dibaringkan di atas meja dan dimasukkan ke dalam tiub. Medan magnet akan diaplikasi dan imej akan diproses oleh komputer.

Peserta yang mempunyai sejarah \u2018claustrophobia\u2019 (takut kepada tempat kecil dan terkurung) mungkin sesuai menjalani ujian MRI ini. Jika peserta tidak mengetahui samada mereka mempunyai \u2018claustrophobia\u2019 (takut kepada tempat kecil dan terkurung), terdapat butang yang boleh ditekan untuk memanggil kakitangan jika anda berasa tidak selesa\/ selamat menjalani ujian ini.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><strong>Rujukan<\/strong>:<\/p>\n<ol>\n<li style=\"text-align: justify;\">Imej MRI (<a href=\"https:\/\/images.search.yahoo.com\/search\/images;_ylt=Awr9EmnBzNJfw5IAVxFXNyoA\">https:\/\/images.search.yahoo.com\/search\/images;_ylt=Awr9EmnBzNJfw5IAVxFXNyoA<\/a>)<\/li>\n<li style=\"text-align: justify;\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.medicinenet.com\/mri_scan\/article.htm\">https:\/\/www.medicinenet.com\/mri_scan\/article.htm<\/a><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p><\/li><\/ul><\/div><\/div><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":0,"parent":0,"menu_order":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","template":"templates\/page-one-column.php","meta":{"_monsterinsights_skip_tracking":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_active":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_note":"","_monsterinsights_sitenote_category":0,"footnotes":""},"class_list":["post-45","page","type-page","status-publish","hentry"],"aioseo_notices":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.ukm.my\/mycohort\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/45","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.ukm.my\/mycohort\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.ukm.my\/mycohort\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/page"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.ukm.my\/mycohort\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.ukm.my\/mycohort\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=45"}],"version-history":[{"count":80,"href":"https:\/\/www.ukm.my\/mycohort\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/45\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":5508,"href":"https:\/\/www.ukm.my\/mycohort\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/45\/revisions\/5508"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.ukm.my\/mycohort\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=45"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
