What is MRI of the Body?
Here at CCMC we have the latest (OPEN) MRI technology, this is an open table machine for those who have difficulties in a closed one.
Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) is a non-invasive, usually painless medical test that helps physicians diagnose and treat medical conditions.
MR imaging uses a powerful magnetic field, radio waves 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 or printed. MRI does not use ionizing radiation (x-rays).
Detailed MR images allow physicians to better evaluate parts of the body and certain diseases that may not be assessed adequately with other imaging methods such as x-ray, ultrasound or computed tomography (also called CT or CAT scanning).
