Do You Know What an MRI Is? Find Out with This Video

Last updated 9 months ago

There are many different types of medical imaging that can produce pictures of the bones, organs, and soft tissues in your body. Some imaging procedures, like X-ray and CT scans, use high energy light that can pose a risk of radiation exposure. MRI does not carry this risk, making it a preferred imaging procedure in many cases.

MRI works without radiation emission, so it is not a risk for the patient. There is no pain associated with undergoing an MRI, but the patient will need to remain completely still during the scan.
