Brief Answer:
MRI can be acquired in 1 mm section
Detailed Answer:
Hi,
Thanks for writing in to us.
MRI can acquire 1 mm thin sections in certain sequences like post contrast images. You need to discuss this with the person doing the MRI to get a complete idea because the sequence names change with manufacturer specifications.

If you do 1 mm thin sections then you can get 0.5 mm images in good machines. There is processing of the images to get thinner sections and this is possible in the good machines. It will help to locate the foreign body.

The chip are about the size of a grain of rice. Would you recommend .5mm or 1mm ct scan? I spoke to the scanning center in my area & they are capable of doing the 1mm ct. I need to 100 % locate this foriegn object migrated in my deep tissues. Should i get 1mm ct or .5 mm ct thin section? The chip is very small just as the picture i added & small as a single grain of rice.

-Basically the .5mm thin section ct would have a better chance to show foriegn object than 1mm thin section. Even though 1mm is good, the lower the number the better?
-Also thats means the radiologist would have alot of imaging to go though because of its thin section imaging?

Brief Answer:
0.5 mm section has better resolution
Detailed Answer:
Hi,
Thanks for writing in to us.
As radiologists we are used to viewing many images so 0.5 or 1 mm does not make much difference to the radiologist. A 0.5 mm CT scan will have more clarity than 1.0 mm. Thinner sections have better resolution but causes an element of image noise and that is minimised using y the software in the computer.

I got scanned today by by CT. The radiologist did the CT. Then said she had to manually change the images to .6 mm . Is that normal? Then gave me 5 disc? Or is the CT machine supposed to be set .6 MM then scan me
