What Is an MRI Scan?
An MRI scan is a non-invasive diagnostic procedure that creates high-resolution images of specific parts of the body. Depending on the symptoms and doctor's recommendation, patients may require an MRI of the brain, spine, knee, shoulder, abdomen, pelvis, joints, or other areas.
MRI can provide excellent soft-tissue detail and is commonly used when detailed imaging is required. For example, an MRI brain scan may help doctors evaluate neurological symptoms, while an MRI knee can provide information about ligaments, cartilage, muscles, and other soft tissues.
The exact MRI protocol should always be selected according to the treating doctor's recommendation.
