What is an MRI (Magnetic Resonance)

An MRI is a different kind of image in the previous two surveys. It uses radio frequency waves and a strong magnetic field, which gives incredibly detailed images of soft tissues, organs, vessels, nerves, bones and more.

Using MRI
MRI scans can be used to increase the visibility of various diseases, their joints and cancer. The scan is painless, but it can be a little unpleasant to lie completely still for some time.
