What is MRI?

The term MRI is an abbreviation for Magnetic Resonance Imaging. It is a revolutionary diagnostic procedure to develop detailed internal images of the body without radiation. This painless procedure is almost always performed on an outpatient basis, making it convenient for the patient.

How does an MRI Scanner work?

A (MRI) Magnetic Resonance Scanner is a huge magnet that uses radio waves to develop internal images of your body and organs. The signals are analyzed by special computers to produce the images that the radiologists will interpret in order to make a diagnosis.
