MRI

Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) is commonly used to visualize detailed internal structure and limited function of the body. It is especially useful for bringing neurological, musculoskeletal, cardiovascular and oncological imaging into focus. It can help find and diagnose problems such as tumors, bleeding, injury, blood vessel diseases or infection. MRI is also used to provide more information about a problem seen on an X-ray, ultrasound or CT scan.
