The magnetic and radio wave bursts stimulate signals from hydrogen atoms in the patient's tissues that, when subjected to computer analysis, create a cross-sectional image of internal structures and organs

What exactly does a Mri involve?

A MRI involves laying still on a table so that the MRI machine can take images of inside the body. The images are a result of a combination of magnetic and radio waves that the machine produces. Because of the radio and magnetic waves, no radiation (such as x-rays) are exposed to the individual.


What type of electromagnetic wave is used for an MRI?

MRI uses radiofrequency electromagnetic waves to create detailed images of the body's internal structures.

Which area of technology might be associated with MRI?

Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) is a non-invasive imaging technology that produces three dimensional detailed anatomical images.


Do CT scans usually produce sharper images of soft tissue than those obtained using MRI?

No, CT scans do not usually produce sharper images of soft tissue than those obtained using MRI.


Does MRI uses a magnetic field rather than an x-ray to produce an image?

Yes, MRI (Magnetic Resonance Imaging) uses a strong magnetic field and radio waves to produce detailed images of the body's internal structures. Unlike X-rays, which use ionizing radiation to create images, MRI relies on the magnetic properties of atoms in the body, primarily hydrogen, to generate images. This makes MRI a safer option for many patients, especially for repeated imaging.


Do MRI scanners have any adverse effects?

MRI scanners have practically no adverse effects. MRI or magnetic resonance imaging works by noting difference of various images created by varying response of different body tissues.


How would spinal cancer show on an MRI?

An MRI may show brain changes in a patient that has bacterial meningitis. However, the diagnosis is not given based on images alone.
