Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI)
Magnetic Resonance Imaging is also known as a ‘MRI’ is a strong imaging method used in the medical field. This method of imaging does not involve x-ray radiation; MRI’s are the least invasive imaging method available. “The MRI does not use ionizing radiation (high-energy radiation that can potentially cause damage to DNA, like the x-rays used CT scans).” The radiation used in MRI’s are in wave lengths that have a frequency range of 300 MHz to 3 kHz. MRI scans are used in disease detection, MRI’s are best used in head trauma victims to expose bleeding or swelling in the brain. Other things that can be detected using an MRI are brain aneurysms, stroke, tumors of the brain, as well as tumors or inflammation of
