Magnetic Resonance Imaging

Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) is a medical imaging technique that uses magnetic fields and radio waves to create detailed images of the inside of the body. MRI is used to diagnose and monitor a wide range of medical conditions, including cancer, heart disease, stroke, and musculoskeletal disorders.
How does MRI work?
MRI works by using a large magnet to create a strong magnetic field around the body. This magnetic field aligns the protons in the body's water molecules, which are then exposed to a radio wave pulse. The radio wave pulse causes the protons to spin out of alignment, and when they relax back into alignment, they emit a radio signal that is detected by the MRI scanner.
