Understanding MRI Scanning
MRI scanning uses powerful magnets and radio waves to create detailed images of the inside of the body. Unlike X-rays or CT scans, MRI does not use ionizing radiation, making it a safer option for many patients. The images produced can help diagnose a variety of conditions, from neurological disorders to joint injuries.
How MRI Works
-
Magnetic Field: The MRI machine generates a strong magnetic field that aligns the protons in the body.
-
Radio Waves: Radiofrequency pulses are sent through the body, causing the aligned protons to emit signals.
-
Image Creation: These signals are captured and processed by a computer to create detailed images of the body’s internal structures.
