What Is MRI????

Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) is a non-invasive imaging method that uses radio waves and a powerful magnetic field to produce clear and detailed images of virtually any part of the body. This procedure has greatly improved the ability to see normal and diseased tissue. It is vital for the patient to be able to remain still in one position during the MRI scan. It is because most of MRI scans take about 30 minutes. Because MRI uses a powerful magnet, metallic objects are prohibited during the scan.
