Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI Scan)

Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI)
MRI uses a large strong magnet (1.5 Tesla) and radiowaves to obtain an image.  No
X-rays are used in MRI.  The magnet is always on and strict safety procedures are followed because of this.  MR imaging is used in the diagnosis and follow up of many diseases.  It is also an extremely useful tool in orthopaedic work.
