Overview

Magnetic Resonance Imagine (MRI) is not used in the diagnosis of sleep apnea, but can be used to identify anatomical structures that may cause the sleep apnea.

Sleep Apnea MRI[1]

  • Magnetic Resonance Imagine (MRI) is not used in the diagnosis of sleep apnea, but can be used to identify anatomical structures that may cause the sleep apnea.
  • Examples are:
  • Adenoids and tonsils blocking the airways
  • Large soft palate
  • Cranio-facial anomalies
