MRI Scan  
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.

MRI scans can detect and locate tumors as well as determining if a tumor has spread. An MRI scan can be helpful in examining the following:

• Liver

• Kidneys

• Spleen

• Heart

• Lungs

• Shoulders

• Hips

• Knees

• Brain

• Spine

• Nerves

• Reproductive organs

If you are interested in an MRI Scan you should consult with a physician in your area today to see if this is something that would benefit you.
