MRI scanners
Hospital imaging tubes
MRI scanners are medical imaging machines that use powerful magnetic fields and radio waves to create detailed pictures of organs and tissues inside the body.
Unlike X-rays or CT scans, MRI produces images without ionizing radiation.
The patient lies inside a cylindrical tube while the machine captures cross-sectional views: The MRI scanner detected a small tumor that hadn't shown up on other tests.
