A.  Magnetic resonance imaging is a method used by physicians to look inside the human body and obtain anatomical and functional diagnostic information. 

A.  All diagnostic imaging procedures provide information about the form and/or function of the body.  MR images typically contain greater information about the body's soft tissue than do other procedures.  This means that MRI can provide highly detailed anatomical "snap shots" of the body.

A.  MRI is used for all parts of the body and is effective in the clinical evaluation of the following conditions:

  Brain Disorders, Spine Disease, Tumor Detection, Knee and Shoulder Injuries, Musculoskeletal Disorders, Eye Abnormalities, Traumatic Injuries, Liver and other Abdominal Diseases and Heart Malformations-Blood Flow and Vessel Disorders.

A.  MRI utilizes the physical properties of magnetic fields, radio waves and computers to generate images of the tissues within the body.  MRI signals from the body are generated using a safe magnetic field in combination with radio waves of a specific frequency.
