Magnetic resonance imaging (also called "MRI") uses magnetic fields and radio waves to generate 3D anatomical images. It does NOT use radiation! This type of imaging is especially useful for looking at the brain, spinal cord, and nerves! 🧠 Need some extra help with test-taking strategies to help you succeed on the Next Gen NCLEX®?

An MRI (Magnetic Resonance Imaging) scan uses a strong magnetic field and radio waves to create detailed images of the body’s internal structures, especially soft tissues. The magnet aligns hydrogen atoms in the body, and a pulse of radio waves temporarily disrupts this alignment. As the atoms return to their original state, they emit signals that are detected and processed by a computer to form the images doctors use to examine patients. The first MRI machines were developed in the 1970s, build
