MRI, or magnetic resonance imaging, uses radio waves to create detailed images of the inside of the body. During an MRI scan, the body is exposed to a strong magnetic field, which causes the hydrogen atoms in the body to align in a certain way. Radio waves are then used to disrupt this alignment, causing the atoms to emit signals that are picked up by the MRI machine and converted into detailed images.

What is the process of using radio waves and magnetism to produce images of tissues in the human body?

This process is called magnetic resonance imaging (MRI). MRI uses a strong magnetic field and radio waves to create detailed images of tissues inside the body. The hydrogen atoms in our bodies align with the magnetic field, and when radio waves are sent through the body, these atoms emit signals that are used to create the images.
