The Fascinating Evolution of MRI Imaging Techniques

Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) is a noninvasive diagnostic technique that is used to visualize internal body structures. It is based on nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) and uses high-flux magnets. Tissues that contain free hydrogen nuclei generate varying signals when bathed in pulses of radiofrequency (RF) energy. These signals are mathematically transformed into images. What is MRI? MRI uses high-powered magnets to scan the body, enabling doctors to see tissue structures in greater detail than other imaging methods. It’s particularly good for soft tissues such as muscles, ligaments and tendons. It’s…
