MRI Scan - Magnetic Resonance Imaging

An MRI Scan is the short form of Magnetic Resonance Imaging Scan. This type of scan uses a strong magnetic field and radio waves to create precise and detailed images of the internal tissues and organs of the body.

An MRI Scan is very useful for doctors to diagnose the issues accurately and suggest suitable treatments. MRI scanning is a painless and non-invasive procedure. The scanner resembles a large tube with a table in the middle, where the patient has to slide in. An MRI Scan is better than CT Scans and X-Rays since it does not use any potentially harmful ionizing radiations.

When going for an MRI Scan, the patient is asked to remove any metal objects like jewellery or accessories. Any person with a metal inside their body such as a bullet, shrapnel, cochlear implants, pacemakers or aneurysm clips cannot have an MRI Scan.

An MRI Scan scanner can detect anomalies of the brain and spinal cord. It can detect cysts, tumors and even breast cancer in women. Doctors suggest an MRI Scan** to detect abnormalities or injuries in the back and knee. It can also detect some heart problems, diseases of the liver, pelvic regions and such other internal problems.
