MRI scan

MRI is a medical imaging procedure that uses strong magnetic fields and radio waves to produce cross-sectional images of organs and internal structures in the body. 

MRI pictures show the soft tissues of the body (arteries, muscles, nerves, brain, discs, ligaments etc.).

In many situations MRI offers unique information to plan your treatment and care.
