Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI)
Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI)
Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) is a medical imaging technology that uses radio waves and a magnetic field to create detailed images of organs and tissues. MRI has proven to be highly effective in diagnosing a number of conditions by showing the difference between normal and diseased soft tissues of the body.
MRI is often used to evaluate:
- Blood vessels
- Abnormal tissue
- Breasts
- Bones and joints
- Organs in the pelvis, chest and abdomen (heart, liver, kidney, spleen)
- Spinal injuries
- Tendon and ligament tears
