What is MRI

Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) is a noninvasive, radiation-free diagnostic tool that utilizes powerful magnets and radio waves to generate detailed, high-contrast images of soft tissues, organs, and bones. During the scan, patients lie on a table that slides into a tube-like machine, necessitating stillness for 20 to 60 minutes to avoid blurring. It is exceptionally effective for detecting disease, particularly in the brain, spinal cord, and musculoskeletal system.
