MRI (Magnetic Resonance Imaging)

Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) is the procedure in which magnetic field and computer-generated radio waves are used to obtain detailed images of organs and tissues in the body. Usually, large and tube-shaped MRI machines temporarily arrange the water molecules in the person’s body thanks to the magnetic field they create during the procedure, and radio waves produce weak signals, allowing these molecules to create cross-sectional MRI images.
