What does MRI mean and how is it different from an MRA?
MRI, magnetic resonance imaging, is a state-of-the-art technique that allows doctors to see inside the human body in remarkable detail without using x-rays. MRI images are produced with the use of a powerful magnetic field, radio waves, and a sophisticated computer system. The procedure is safe, painless, and, in many cases, saves the cost of hospitalization and numerous other studies.
MRI, Magnetic Resonance Imaging, is an imaging technique used primarily to produce high quality images inside the human body without using x-rays. MRI scanner literally scans every millimeter of the body part and can pick up the minutest detail. Images are produced with the use of a powerful magnetic field, radio waves, and a sophisticated computer system that converts this detailed information into a 2 or 3-dimensional map. This is then interpreted by our radiologist. The procedure is safe, painless, and, in many cases, saves the cost of hospitalization and numerous other studies.
