MRI
It's clear – precision is important during diagnosis. Of all imaging technologies, MRI, or magnetic resonance imaging, can give doctors the clearest, most precise image of the inside of the body. It's sophisticated and uses a strong magnetic field to show the structure and detail of organs, soft tissue and bones, which can pinpoint all types of issues from abnormalities to disease. Dukes Memorial Hospital performs MRIs with your comfort in mind. Nervous about your test? Just speak to a staff member.
MRI uses pulsed radio frequency along with a magnetic field rather than X-ray to create detailed diagnostic images. MRI detects and details soft tissue and joint abnormalities, as well as, problems with blood vessels and blood flow using magnetic resonance angiography (MRA).
