Magnetic
Resonance Imaging (MRI) is a revolutionary
imaging system that safely creates finely detailed views of
your body's internal tissues. This state-of-the-art technology
can be used to diagnose disease or view internal damage of
tissues, without using radiation. MRI procedure gives your
doctor many different and detailed views of the inside of
your body. This allows medical problems to be diagnosed more
quickly and safely than ever before.
Magnetic
resonance imaging is performed using a large magnet that is
big enough for you to lie inside. The magnet directs harmless
radio signals around sections of your body. When the signals
pass through your body, they resonate, that is, release a
signal. Your body's response is picked up a receiver, then
sent to a computer. The computer analyzes the signal and converts
it to a visual image that is displayed on a video screen and
printed on special film.
