What is MRI?
MRI uses powerful magnetic fields and radio waves to generate detailed images of the body’s internal structures. Unlike X-rays or CT scans, MRI is particularly useful for soft tissue evaluation, such as the brain, spinal cord, muscles, joints, and internal organs.
Why is MRI Important?
MRI helps in diagnosing and monitoring:
Brain and spinal cord disorders
Joint injuries and musculoskeletal conditions
Tumors and cancer
Heart and vascular conditions
Liver, kidney, and abdominal organ evaluation
MRI provides high-resolution, cross-sectional images that allow doctors to see both the structure and function of tissues, enabling precise diagnosis and treatment planning.
How the Procedure Works
During an MRI scan:
The patient lies on a motorized table that slides into the MRI machine.
The machine uses magnets and radio waves to create images.
Contrast agents may be used in some cases to highlight blood vessels or abnormal tissues.
The procedure is painless, non-invasive, and generally takes 15–60 minutes, depending on the area being scanned. Patients can return to normal activities immediately after the scan.
Benefits of MRI
✅ Radiation-free and safe for most patients
✅ High-resolution images for soft tissues
✅ Detects subtle abnormalities early
✅ Guides treatment planning for surgery, radiotherapy, or other interventions
✅ Comfortable and non-invasive
