What is the purpose for magnetic resonance imaging pr MRIs?

Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) is a technique that uses a magnetic field and pulses of radio wave energy to make detailed images of organs and structures inside the body.

It provides good contrast between the different soft tissues of the body, which makes it especially useful in imaging the brain, muscles, the heart, cancers, and other abnormalities without the possibly harmful effects of X rays or gamma rays.
