Magnetic resonance imaging also known as an MRI scan is a diagnostic procedure that uses electromagnetic radio waves to produce two- or three-dimensional computer images of internal body structures such as organs, muscles, bones, and nerves.
An MRI scan can be performed on any part of the body and does not involve radiation. An
MRI scan produces more detailed images of soft tissue and organs, and it is more efficient when it comes to differentiating between similar tissues then other X-ray applications.

• Liver
