What is an MRI scan?
Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI scan) is a medical imaging technique that uses a strong magnetic field and radio waves to create a detailed picture of the body's internal structures. It provides valuable information about organs, tissues, bones, and other structures. These scans assist doctors in the diagnosis and monitoring of various medical conditions.

An MRI scan works by utilizing a powerful magnet and radio waves. When you enter the MRI machine, the magnet aligns your body's hydrogen atoms (Water molecules). Radio waves are then applied, causing the hydrogen atoms to emit signals. A receiver detects these signals, and with the help of advanced computer technology, they are transformed into detailed images that healthcare professionals can interpret.
