MRI is a way of getting pictures of various parts of your body without the use of x-rays, unlike regular x-rays pictures and CAT scans. A MRI scanner consists of a large and very strong magnet in which the patient lies. A radio wave antenna is used to send signals* to the body and then receive signals back. These returning signals are converted into pictures by a computer attached to the scanner. Pictures of almost any part of your body can be obtained at almost any particular angle.

wikipedia.org Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), nuclear magnetic resonance imaging (NMRI), or magnetic resonance tomography (MRT) is a medical imaging technique used in radiology to visualize detailed internal structures. MRI makes use of the property of Nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) to image nuclei of atoms inside the body.

MRI of the Body (Chest, Abdomen, Pelvis)

MR imaging uses a powerful magnetic field, radio frequency pulses and a computer to produce detailed pictures of organs, soft tissues, bone and virtually all other internal body structures. The images can then be examined on a computer monitor, transmitted electronically, printed or copied to a CD. MRI does not use ionizing radiation (x-rays).   http://www.radiologyinfo.org

Magnetic Resonance Imaging, or MRI, is a method of imaging the interior of structures noninvasively. An MRI device consists of a magnet, magnetic gradient coils, an RF (radio frequency) transmitter and receiver, and a computer that controls the acquisition of signals and computes the MR images. The full name, Nuclear Magnetic Resonance Imaging, usually shortened to MRI, describes the technique. If an atomic Nucleus is exposed to a static Magnetic field, it Resonates when a varying electromagnetic field is applied at the proper frequency. An Image is computed from the resonance signals of which the frequency and phase (timing) contain space information. MRI is important because it is noninvasive, safe, and yields information that cannot be obtained with any other techniques. Its most common use by far is in diagnostic medicine but MRI has other applications, particularly in the oil and food industries1.

Dr. Hornak is Professor of Chemistry and Imaging Science at the Rochester Institute of Technology where he teaches courses in magnetic resonance imaging, nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy, analytical chemistry, and physical chemistry. He is also Director of the Magnetic Resonance Laboratory, a research and development laboratory on the RIT campus. His research interests include multi-spectral tissue classification with magnetic resonance images, near-surface MRI, low-frequency electron spin resonance of free radicals, magnetic resonance hardware development, and magnetic resonance imaging of materials.
