What is an MRI Scan?
MRI stands for Magnetic Resonance Imaging. Basically, an MRI machine is a large magnet that uses radio waves to take pictures of your body’s organs and structures. MRI scans are safe and pain free. Plus, unlike other medical imaging procedures such as CTs (CAT scans) or X-rays, MRI scans don’t expose you to harmful radiation.
