A magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) scan, unlike CT, does not use X-rays but a strong magnetic field to create images. The technique is mainly used to image soft tissue thanks to high contrast capabilities. MRI is especially indicated for neurological screening or symptoms or detecting tendon and muscle injuries.
The examination takes about 60 minutes, so the patient is always put under full anesthesia.
