Magnetic resonance imaging, or MRI, is a noninvasive medical imaging test that produces detailed images of almost every internal structure in the human body, including the organs, bones, muscles and blood vessels. MRI scanners create images of the body using a large magnet and radio waves. No radiation is produced during an MRI exam.
This advanced imaging technology differs from CT and X-ray since it does not use radiation to capture clear pictures of the body.
Experts use MRI to rule out or diagnose several health conditions. But for many people, getting an MRI causes anxiety or claustrophobia. We work with you and your physician before your MRI to be sure you feel comfortable and ready for the test.
