MRI machine
Magnetic imaging device
An MRI machine is medical imaging equipment that uses powerful magnets and radio waves to create detailed pictures of organs and tissues inside the body.
MRI stands for magnetic resonance imaging, and the technology works without radiation, unlike X-rays or CT scans.
Patients lie inside a large tube-shaped scanner during the procedure, which can take anywhere from fifteen minutes to over an hour.
The doctor ordered an MRI to get a better look at my knee.
