Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) is a non-invasive exam that uses a powerful magnet, radio waves and a computer to produce detailed images of the inside of the body.

MRI imaging is useful in evaluating the body for various diseases and conditions.

Sports injuries

Spinal problems
Brain disorders
Abdominal diseases
