How does an MRI scan work?
Magnetic Resonance Imaging, commonly known as MRI, uses a powerful magnetic field and radio waves to produce detailed images of structures inside the body.
Unlike X-rays and CT scans, MRI does not use ionising radiation. The resulting images can help clinicians investigate a wide range of conditions affecting areas including joints, soft tissues, the spine and neurological structures.
-
1. Magnetic field
The MRI scanner creates a strong magnetic field that interacts with hydrogen atoms naturally present in the body.
-
2. Radiofrequency signals
Radiofrequency pulses are applied and signals are generated from tissues within the area being examined.
-
3. Detailed image creation
The scanner detects these signals and computer processing converts them into detailed clinical images.
