MRI

Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) is a noninvasive imaging procedure that produces detailed images without the use of X-rays or ionizing radiation. Instead, MRI captures internal images of the bodys structures and organs utilizing powerful and rapidly changing magnetic fields and radio wave pulses.

MRI produces a series of cross-sectional pictures that often provide different information about areas of the body than those images captured by X-ray, ultrasound, or a Computed Tomography (CT) scan. An MRI exam helps physicians detect and identify certain health conditions of their patients in earlier stages to provide the best opportunity for targeted treatment and recovery.

MRI provides good contrast between the different soft tissues of the body, which makes it especially useful in imaging the brain, muscles, the heart, and cancers. Areas of the body that may undergo an MRI scan include the head, chest, abdomen, vital organs, joints, spine or extremities such as hands, wrists, ankles, and feet.
