How does MRI operate?
MRI images are formed when signals emitted by body tissue are processed by software and turned into clinical images.
These images are generated using a safe magnetic field in combination with radio waves of a specific frequency. Different tissue characteristics are translated into different contrast levels on the image.
MRI is a non-invasive procedure with no known side effects, and painless.
A knocking sound will be heard from the machine, which is simply the imaging process in operation.
