What is an MRI?

Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) uses radio waves and a strong magnetic field to provide remarkably clear and detailed pictures of the body, including the spine, brain, joints, and internal organs. MRI can also be used to evaluate blood vessels anywhere in the body by using special, non-invasive imaging techniques known as Magnetic Resonance Angiography or MRA. And because MRI does not use ionizing radiation, there are none of the fears regarding radiation exposure.

An MRI is a painless exam that requires minimal preparation. It can lead to early detection and treatment of many health issues including; spinal injuries, sports related injuries, and many joint problems. MRI is also used to diagnose cancer as well as many other serious ailments.
