Magnetic Resonance Imaging, or MRI, is a non-invasive medical imaging technique used to visualize internal structures of the body. It employs strong magnetic fields and radio waves to generate detailed images of organs and tissues, making it invaluable for diagnosing various conditions, particularly in the brain and spinal cord.
Unlike X-rays or CT scans, MRI does not use ionizing radiation, which makes it a safer option for many patients. The images produced can help doctors assess injuries, tumors, and other abnormalities, providing critical information for treatment planning and monitoring.
