Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI)

Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) is a procedure in which a magnet linked to a computer is used to create detailed pictures of areas inside the body. The technology produces images that are like a slice of anatomy and can produce images in an infinite number of planes through the body. MRI uses a large magnet which surrounds the patient, radio frequencies and a computer to produce frequencies.

The MRI division of the Department of Diagnostic Imaging offers a full range of services, all accredited by the American College of Radiology.
