Image for MRI

MRI

Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) is a medical imaging technique that uses powerful magnets and radio waves to produce detailed pictures of the inside of the body. When inside the MRI machine, the magnetic field aligns hydrogen atoms in your tissues. Radio waves then disturb this alignment, and as the atoms realign, they emit signals captured by the scanner. These signals are processed by a computer to generate high-resolution, cross-sectional images of organs, bones, and tissues. MRI is non-invasive, does not use ionizing radiation, and is especially useful for diagnosing issues in soft tissues like the brain, joints, and muscles.
