Overview
Magnetic Resonance Imagine (MRI) is not diagnostic of sleep apnea, but can be used to identify anatomical structures that may be associated with the development of sleep apnea.
Sleep Apnea MRI
- Magnetic Resonance Imagine (MRI) is not diagnostic of sleep apnea, but can be used to identify anatomical structures that may be associated with the development of sleep apnea, such as enlarged adenoids, tonsils, and soft palate that may block the airways.[1]
