Magnetic Resonance Imaging

Diagnostic procedure based on the nuclear magnetic resonance of atoms, which is used in medicine primarily for imaging organs and tissues. With very strong magnetic fields (mostly) hydrogen nuclei are excited and their resonance is measured.

Compared to computer tomography, MRI is less invasive because it works without X-rays. However, the resolution is lower and the MRT is mainly used for soft tissue imaging.
