Clinical Applications of MRI

Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) is a medical imaging technique used to visualize internal body structures in detail. It’s particularly useful for examining the brain, spinal cord, joints, and soft tissues. MRI helps diagnose a variety of conditions, such as tumors, strokes, and joint injuries, without using radiation. The process involves a patient lying inside a large magnet while radio waves are sent through the body, creating images based on tissue characteristics. This information aids doctors in making informed decisions about treatment plans and monitoring disease progression effectively. MRI is valued for its clarity and precision in capturing complex anatomical details.
