MRI

A MRI exam is a non-invasive way of taking detailed pictures of the inside of your body. MRI uses radio waves in the presence of a controlled magnetic field to produce high-quality cross-sectional images of the head and body in any plane. An MRI scan provides exceptionally detailed images and can be an invaluable tool in the diagnosis and treatment of many ailments. MRI is utilized for evaluation of many neurologic and musculoskeletal disorders.
