An MRI, or Magnetic Resonance Imaging, is a medical imaging technique used to create detailed pictures of the inside of the body. It uses strong magnets and radio waves to generate images of organs, tissues, and structures without using harmful radiation. This makes it a safe option for diagnosing various health conditions, such as brain tumors or joint injuries.
During an MRI scan, patients lie on a table that slides into a large, tube-shaped machine. The process is painless, but the machine can be noisy. The images produced help doctors understand what’s happening inside the body and guide treatment decisions.
