An MRI (Magnetic Resonance Imaging) of the brain and spine is a non-invasive imaging technique that uses strong magnetic fields and radio waves to create detailed images of the brain and spinal cord. It helps in diagnosing various conditions such as tumors, infections, degenerative diseases, and structural abnormalities. The procedure is painless and does not involve exposure to ionizing radiation, making it a safe option for patients. MRI images provide critical information that aids in treatment planning and monitoring.
