Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) is a non-invasive medical imaging technique that uses strong magnetic fields and radio waves to produce detailed images of the body’s internal organs and tissues. Unlike X-rays or CT scans, MRI does not use harmful ionizing radiation, making it a safer option for repeated imaging and sensitive areas.
What is it useful for?
MRI is especially effective in imaging soft tissues such as the brain, spinal cord, nerves, muscles, ligaments, and organs like the heart, liver, and kidneys. It helps detect abnormalities such as tumors, inflammation, strokes, joint injuries, spinal cord disorders, and degenerative diseases with exceptional clarity. It also plays a vital role in neurological, musculoskeletal, cardiovascular, and oncological diagnostics.
