5. Conclusions
This analysis presented MRI-generated data and specifically identified which applications of this technique were used to describe the distribution of patients with specific neoplasm subgroups. This analysis has shown that, in the population studied, the MRI is very commonly used in the diagnoses of neoplasms, and especially neoplasms of the nervous system. Males ≤ 30 years of age with neoplasms had three times higher MRI scans rate than females of the same age group, excluding the fact that females had much higher scans rate in every other category. Furthermore, during the 5-year study period most patients presented with MRI-diagnosed benign neoplasms. These patients were in the age group of 51–60 years. Finally, the number of MRI-diagnosed neoplasms showed a linear annual increase. Therefore, the general use of MRI scans to detect neoplasms has been steadily increasing, and young males are more often selected for these scans if a neoplasm is suspected.
