MRI

An MRI (Magnetic Resonance Imaging) is a non-invasive medical imaging technique used to create detailed images of the organs and tissues inside the body. It uses a powerful magnetic field, radio waves, and a computer to generate images that can help doctors diagnose and monitor a variety of conditions.

Common Uses:

• Brain and Spinal Cord: MRI is often used to image the brain and spinal cord to detect conditions like tumors, strokes, or spinal injuries.
• Musculoskeletal System: It is effective in imaging soft tissues like muscles, ligaments, and cartilage, making it useful for diagnosing joint, tendon, and soft tissue injuries.
• Heart and Blood Vessels: MRIs can assess the heart’s structure and function, as well as the blood vessels, to diagnose conditions like heart disease or aneurysms.
• Abdomen and Pelvis: It is also used for visualizing organs like the liver, kidneys, and reproductive organs to check for tumors, infections, or other issues.
