More About MRI

Magnetic Resonance Imaging, or MRI, is a patient examination utilizing a magnetic field and radio waves to produce a detailed view of the inside of any portion of your body. It is a painless and extremely safe procedure because no radiation is used. Aided by a computer, MRI is able to produce an image of bone and soft tissue from many different body angles or planes. This enables our physicians to quickly and precisely diagnose a wide variety of conditions.

The scan usually takes from 15 to 30 minutes. Time may vary significantly, depending on the nature of the study and other factors.
