MRI, Magnetic Resonance Imaging, is a diagnostic method used by physicians to obtain information by looking inside the body. Through advanced technology, MRI produces images of the anatomy without the use of radiation, as in X-ray and CT scanning. MRI utilizes the physical properties of magnetic fields, radio waves and computers to generate images of the soft tissues within the body on all three planes or at an angle. The technique is now commonly used as a primary diagnostic tool. It can help provide a quick and more accurate diagnosis so that your physician can reduce the need for exploratory surgery or other diagnostic procedures. MRI is non-invasive and there are no known side- or after-effects. The procedure is painless; in fact, you won't see or feel anything. A faint knocking sound will be heard. This is simply the imaging process in operation. The procedure is used for all parts of the body and is effective in the clinical evaluation of the following conditions:

• Brain Disorders
  
• Traumatic Injuries
  
• Eye Abnormalities
  
• Spine Diseases
  
• Tumor Detection
  
• Liver and Other Abdominal Diseases
  
• Knee and Shoulder Injuries
  
• Musculoskeletal Disorders
  
• Facial/Neck Abnormalities Infection
  
• Cardiac Malformations
  
• Blood Flow and Vessel Disorders
