MRI

Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) is an imaging exam that uses a powerful magnetic field, radio waves and a computer to produce detailed pictures. MRI does not use ionizing radiation (x-rays). Doctors use MRI to examine the brain, spine, joints (i.e., knee, shoulder, wrist and ankle), abdomen, pelvic region, breast, blood vessels and other body parts. MRI of the blood vessels is called magnetic resonance angiogram, or MRA.
