Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI)
Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) is a noninvasive medical test that uses
a powerful magnetic field, radio frequency pulses and a computer to produce
detailed pictures of organs, soft tissues, bone and virtually all other
internal body structures. The images can then be examined on a computer
monitor, printed or copied to CD. MRI does not use ionizing radiation (X-rays).
The detailed images from an MRI allow physicians to better evaluate various
parts of the body and certain diseases that may not be assessed adequately
with other imaging methods such as X-ray,
ultrasound or
computed tomography (CT).
