M.R.I.SCANNING (Magnetic Resonance Imaging)

What is M.R.I.?
M.R.I is Manager Resonance imaging. It allows us to see very clearly inside the human body without the use of X-rays. MRI pictures, called images, help make us the best possible diagnosis. No radiation is involved.

How does it work?
Magnetic resonance produces clear internal body images by using a particular radio frequency to create momentary magnetic changes and analyzing by computer the signals returned by various tissues.

How long does an exam take?
The average MRI scan takes 3 to 10 minutes, with a complete exam running 15 to 40 minutes. During this time, several dozen images may be obtained.

What can I expect during the exam
MRI is comfortable and easy for the patient. First, the technologist will position you on a cushioned table. When you are comfortably positioned for the exam, the table will move into the magnet.
