Magnetic Resonance Imaging
MRI is a form of diagnostic radiology that uses the response or resonance of the nuclei of the atoms of one of the bodily elements, typically hydrogen or phosphorus, to externally applied magnetic fields. It is a non-invasive way to take pictures of the body and is performed to help a doctor make a more definitive diagnosis. MRIs are used for the chest, abdomen, heart, cranium, spine and lumbosacral spine.
