Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) is a medical imaging technique that uses a magnetic field and computer-generated radio waves to create detailed images of the organs and tissues in your body.
Most MRI machines are large, tube-shaped magnets.
MRI can be used to detect brain tumors, traumatic brain injury, developmental anomalies, multiple sclerosis, stroke, dementia, infection, and the causes of headache.
Both MRIs and CT scans can view internal body structures.
However, a CT scan is faster and can provide pictures of tissues, organs, and skeletal structure.
An MRI is highly adept at capturing images that help doctors determine if there are abnormal tissues within the body.
MRIs are more detailed in their images.
