MRI (Magnetic Resonance Imaging) is currently among the most advanced diagnostic methods in the clinical practice. Magnetic Resonance Imaging uses a powerful magnetic field, radio waves and a computer to produce complex and detailed pictures of the body's internal anatomical structures. MRI is a non-invasive procedure that can be the right option for patients for whom CT is contraindicated due to the resulting radiation exposure. MRI is particularly suitable for the examination of soft tissues. Since it has no adverse effects, MRI is often recommended when a series of exams is needed (e.g. monitoring the effects of certain treatments, follow up on epilepsy cases).
