Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI or MR)
Information for patients
|
 |
Magnetic resonance imaging uses a strong magnetic field and
radiowaves to image the body. MRI is commonly used to examine the
brain, spine, joints, abdomen and blood vessels. Some MRI exams
require an injection of an MRI contrast or dye. It is important
not to move during the exam. All MRI exams are interpreted by a
board-certified radiologist with subspecialty training in MRI.
