magnetic resonance imaging

noun

1. MRI.

magnetic resonance imaging

noun

1. a noninvasive medical diagnostic technique in which the absorption and transmission of high-frequency radio waves are analysed as they irradiate the hydrogen atoms in water molecules and other tissue components placed in a strong magnetic field. This computerized analysis provides a powerful aid to the diagnosis and treatment planning of many diseases, including cancer MRI

magnetic resonance imaging

1. See MRI

magnetic resonance imaging

1. A technique for forming detailed images of internal organs and tissue. It works by putting the patient inside a magnet, then using radio waves to locate atoms in the tissue. Final production of the image is done by a computer . ( Compare x-ray and ultrasound .)

Notes

MRI images are the most detailed that can be obtained.
