Understanding MRI

Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) is a powerful, non-invasive diagnostic tool that helps doctors see inside your body without using radiation. It utilizes a strong magnetic field and radio waves to create highly detailed images of your organs, tissues, and bones. This helps your healthcare team diagnose various conditions and make informed treatment decisions.
