MRI (Magnetic
Resonance Imaging) is ordered
by your physician to evaluate internal body structures without
having to use X-ray or surgery. MRI uses the physical properties of
magnetic fields, radio waves, and computers to generate images of
soft tissues within the body. MRI is a non-invasive procedure and
there are no known side or after effects.
Patients are asked to lie on a table
and remain still for approximately 30 minutes to one hour depending
on the test ordered. During the examination, a faint knocking sound
will be heard, which is normal and is the operation of the imaging
process. The images are formed from signals emitted by tissue in
the body. The MRI process captures different tissue characteristics
and translates them into different contrast levels on the
image.
