A magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) scan is a procedure that uses a magnetic field to create detailed pictures of the body.

a highly advanced imaging technique that uses a magnetic field and radio waves (instead of radiation) to create multiple cross-sectional views of the internal body structures

a medical imaging technique that uses magnetism, radiowaves and a computer to produce images of body structures

an image of the magnetic forces in the body

a painless radiology technique which has the advantage of avoiding x-ray radiation exposure

a radiological technique which uses magnetism, radio waves and a computer to produce detailed images of body structures

a safe and painless test that can provide detailed pictures of organs and other structures inside your body

a special imaging test that uses magnetic waves to create pictures that show the tissues of the shoulder in slices and has the advantage of showing tendons as well as bones

a special radiological test where magnetic waves are used to create pictures that look like slices of the knee

a test that uses a magnetic field and pulses of radio wave energy to make pictures of the body

a test that uses magnetic and radio waves to make pictures of structures inside the body

a test that uses magnetic waves to make pictures of the inside of the body

Magnetic Resonance Imaging may be used when determining the cause of cerebral palsy. A doctor may use an MRI scan to pick up abnormalities in the brain that are not visible on a CT scan.

Magnetic Resonance Imaging involves a highly technical scanner that uses magnetic fields and computer technology to generate images of the internal anatomy of the body, including discs and nerve roots. It is a painless procedure, although like CT scans, people with claustrophobia may find it difficult. Most scanners have a panic button and radiologists will talk you through the process. Some units may have open scanners. A contrast medium (Gadolinium) can be used intravenously to gain clarity of image, especially with those who have already undergone back surgery.

Magnetic Resonance Imaging, a diagnostic technique that provides cross-sectional images of the brain and other organs and structures within the body without X-ray or other forms of radiation.

a medical test used to produce images of the interior of the body. MRI uses strong magnetic fields and low-energy radio waves to create images. The strong magnets can interfere with the functioning of a pacemaker, ICD, or neurostimulator. If you have one of these devices, do not participate in Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) tests without informing your physician about your implanted device.

Magnetic Resonance Imaging. A type of scan that uses radio waves and a strong magnetic field to create images of the body's organs that can then be viewed on a computer

Magnetic Resonance Imaging scan. The body part to be scanned is placed within the magnetic field of a super magnet and radio waves are fired at the patient. Based on the distortion of the radio waves (dependent on density and fluid content) a computerised image of the body part is produced. This is used in the diagnosis of numerous sports injuries.

(Magnetic Resonance Imaging) A way of scanning which is good for looking at soft tissues. It does not use X ray, but powerful magnets to make an image. neoplasm another word for cancer. From the Latin for “new growth” neoplasia - neo = new; plasia = growth.

An imaging process that uses strong magnetic fields to visualize internal body structures.

A diagnostic test that uses magnetic fields to produce two- or three-dimensional images of organs inside the body.

magnetic resonance imaging, a non-invasive technique of body scanning which produces very good images without side effects. Used to examine the spinal cord, e.g. to detect syringomyelia.

Magnetic Resonance Imaging is a medical diagnostic procedure. At this time, MED-EL cochlear implants are FDA approved for 0.2T (Tesla) MRI scanners without the removal of the implant's internal magnet. Only machines of 0.2T strength should be utilized with MED-EL at this time. Additional factors, such as head placement, make it important for the scanning radiologist to contact MED-EL Corporation prior to scheduling the MRI scan. MED-EL can provide a list of approved scanners and their locations upon request.

Magnetic resonance imaging - A brain scanning technique that generates cross-sectional images of a human brain by detecting small molecular changes. MRI scans reveal a contrast between normal and abnormal tissues. The image produced is similar to those generated by CT scans. There are no side effects or risks associated with MRI scans, although MRI can affect electrical devices like pacemakers and hearing aids.

(Magnetic Resonance Imaging) a scan of the body which uses magnetic energy, rather than radiation, to view an organ or body part, especially useful for visualizing soft tissue

Magnetic Resonance Imaging is a technique that gives very clear pictures of an area of the body (e.g. the ear) in any plane. The pictures obtained are of very high quality and use magnetism rather than x-rays. The scan process is painless but somewhat claustrophobic, and can be noisy.

Scan that uses magnetic fields and radio waves to provide images.

Uses magnetism, radio waves and a computer to create an image of the lungs or other body parts. A MRI scan does not use x-ray radiation.

An imaging technique used to visualise the soft tissue inside your body. MRI combines a powerful magnet with radio-frequency pulses. These collect signals that are then processed by a sophisticated computer to form pictures of inside your body. MRI gives highly detailed pictures of the soft tissues within the body, for example muscles and ligaments. This capability means Doctors can use MRI in a wide range of investigations: from slipped discs and brain tumours, to painful or injured joints to the assessment of blood flow. An MRI can provide important information about tissues and organs that is not available from other imaging techniques. It is similar to computerized tomography (CT scan) but uses magnets instead of x-rays.

Uses radio waves rather than X-rays to produce pictures, which are then analysed by computer.

A diagnostic technique using a powerful magnetic field to measure movement of atomic particles (radiowaves) to produce pictures, rather than X-rays or radiation.

A scanning device that uses a magnetic field, radio waves, and a computer. Signals emitted by normal and diseased tissue during the scans are assembled into an image.

Head and bodily screening using a magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) scanner.

An advanced method of viewing tissues of the body using a powerful magnetic field. A variety of conditions affecting practically any part of the body can be diagnosed using this method.
