MRI
Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) is an examination that provides two- or three-dimensional views of the inside of the body. MRI provides information about lesions that are not visible on standard X-rays, ultrasound or CT scans. It does not use X-rays but a magnetic field. The machine takes the form of a tunnel with open ends into which the examination bed is inserted.
