What do you mean by Magnetic resonance imaging?
Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) is a medical imaging technique that uses a strong magnetic field, radio waves, and a computer to produce detailed images of the inside of the body. The technique is based on the behavior of atomic nuclei in a magnetic field.
During an MRI scan, the patient lies inside a large, tube-shaped magnet. The magnetic field causes the protons in the body's water molecules to align with the magnetic field. Radio waves are then sent through the body, causing the protons to absorb energy and change their alignment. When the radio waves are turned off, the protons return to their original state, emitting a signal that is detected by the MRI machine.
The MRI machine uses this signal to create detailed, three-dimensional images of the body's internal structures, including organs, bones, and soft tissues. These images can provide valuable information for the diagnosis and treatment of a wide range of medical conditions, including cancer, heart disease, and neurological disorders. MRI is a non-invasive and painless imaging technique that does not use ionizing radiation, making it a safer option than other imaging techniques such as X-rays and CT scans.
