MRI (Magnetic Resonance Imaging)

Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) is a medical imaging technique that uses powerful magnets and radio waves to create detailed images of the inside of the body. Unlike X-rays or CT scans, MRI does not use ionizing radiation. It is especially useful for visualizing soft tissues, such as the brain, muscles, and organs. During an MRI, the patient lies inside a large, tube-shaped machine while the scanner takes images, often producing cross-sectional views of the body. This non-invasive method helps doctors diagnose various conditions and plan treatments.
