What Mri detects?

MRI, or magnetic resonance imaging, primarily detects soft tissue structures in the body, making it particularly useful for visualizing the brain, spinal cord, muscles, ligaments, and organs. It provides detailed images that can reveal abnormalities such as tumors, inflammation, and degenerative diseases. Unlike X-rays and CT scans, MRI does not use ionizing radiation, making it a safer option for many patients. Additionally, functional MRI (fMRI) can assess brain activity by measuring changes in blood flow.
