What are MRIs Used For?
They are mainly used to diagnose injuries in the soft tissues like cartilage in joints, torn ligaments and muscles. They are also commonly used to diagnose problems with the circulatory system including the heart, veins and arteries. MRI’s are well suited for examining the organs inside a patients chest and abdomen to produce high quality images of the lungs, kidneys, liver, spleen and pancreas. Since MRI’s emit no radiation, they are the preferred method for examining the brain and reproductive systems and are able to give clear images for the most accurate diagnosis.
