Magnetic Resonance Imaging is the full form of MRI, also known as Magnetic Resonance Tomography and Nuclear Magnetic Resonance Imaging. It is used in radiology to display more details about the internal structure of the body. MRI is clearer than X-ray and is a diagnostic imaging technique to represent the physiological functions and anatomy of the body in any health condition or disease.
Hydrogen’s protons in the body coordinate with the magnetic field when attached to a magnet that faces the same orientation as an MRI machine. A radio wave is transmitted through the entire body, pulling the proton away from the magnetic field at 900 or 1800. The protons are slowly reconfigured in the magnetic field of the MRI and energy is released if this radio wave is stopped. The MRI will distinguish among tissue types to form a detailed picture, based on the quality of energy generated and the time required to reorient the protons.
