MRI
Magnetic Resonance Imaging is a technique that uses a magnetic field and radio frequency, rather than radiation to create detailed images of the body.
MRI is well suited for obtaining pictures of soft tissues, including the brain, the heart, spinal cord, muscles, tendons, and joints. One of the main features of MRI is its ability to differentiate between tissues that are very similar in density, such as the musculoskeletal system (muscles, tendons, cartilage) or the gray and white matter of the brain. MRI has more recently been used as a complement to Mammography to evaluate diseases of the breast.
