Magnetic resonance imaging

Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) is a technique that produces a very detailed picture of the internal organs and structures of the body without using x-rays. The electromagnetic energy released during this technique is measured and fed into a computer to form an image, which is viewed on a TV monitor.
