Overview
Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) is an imaging technique that uses a magnetic field and radio waves to create detailed images of the organs and tissues in your body.
Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) allows our radiologists to see into any part of the body painlessly, non-invasively, rapidly and without exposure to radiation. MRI provides greater contrast between the different tissues and organs of the body than Computed Tomography (CT) making it especially useful in the detection of disease in the neurological (brain), musculoskeletal, cardiovascular disorders as well as oncologic (cancer) imaging.
Why it's done?
MRI is a noninvasive way for your doctor to examine your organs, tissues and skeletal system. It produces high-resolution images of the inside of the body that help diagnose a variety of problems and it is completely safe for all patients.
MRI of the Brain and spinal column is often performed to help diagnose:
- Aneurysms of cerebral vessels
- Disorders of the eye and inner ear
- Multiple sclerosis
- Spinal cord disorders
- Stroke
- Tumors
- Brain injury from trauma
MRI of the internal organs can check for tumors or other abnormalities of many organs in the body, including the following:
- Liver and bile ducts
- Kidneys
- Spleen
- Pancreas
- Uterus
- Ovaries
MRI of bones and joints can help evaluate:
- Joint abnormalities caused by traumatic or repetitive injuries, such as torn cartilage or ligaments
- Disk abnormalities in the spine
- Bone infections
- Tumors of the bones and soft tissues
- Stress Fractures
- Arthritis
