MRI is a method of obtaining detailed pictures of internal body structures with the use of magnetic field and radio frequency pulses.
Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) is a noninvasive, usually painless medical test that helps physicians diagnose and treat medical conditions. MR imaging uses a powerful magnetic field, radio waves 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 or printed. MRI does not use ionizing radiation (x-rays).
MRI detects abnormalities with accuracy, especially those involving the soft tissue. In fact, MRI may reduce the need for biopsies, exploratory surgeries, and other high-risk procedures.
MRI is commonly used as a primary diagnostic tool with no associated risk to the patient, while providing high-quality clinical evaluations of:
- Brain Disorders
- Traumatic Injuries
- Spinal Diseases
- Bone Infection/Osteomyelitis
- Tumor Detection & Staging
- Tumor Treatment Response
- Liver & Organ Diseases
- Knee & Shoulder Injuries
- Musculoskeletal Disorders
- Blood Flow & Vessel Disorders
- Foot & Ankle Disorders
- Eye Abnormalities
