MRI Scanner (Magnetic Resonance Imaging)

An MRI scanner uses strong magnetic fields and radio waves to create detailed images of the inside of the body. When a person is inside the scanner, the magnetic field temporarily aligns hydrogen atoms in tissues. Radio waves then disturb this alignment, and as the atoms return to normal, they emit signals that a computer converts into detailed images. MRI is non-invasive and provides clear views of soft tissues like the brain, muscles, and organs, helping doctors diagnose conditions without surgery or exposure to radiation.
