MRI is the most sensitive imaging exam for spinal and joint problems. It gives clear images of soft tissue structures near and around the bones. In sports related injuries, the MRI images allow the radiologist to see very small tears and injuries to ligaments and muscles. Chest, abdomen and abdominal vessels can also be imaged with MRI. MRI of the heart, aorta and coronary arteries is a non-invasive tool for diagnosing coronary artery disease and heart problems.
