magnetic resonance imaging
magnetic resonance imaging
noun
- a noninvasive medical diagnostic technique in which the absorption and transmission of high-frequency radio waves are analysed as they irradiate the hydrogen atoms in water molecules and other tissue components placed in a strong magnetic field. This computerized analysis provides a powerful aid to the diagnosis and treatment planning of many diseases, including cancer MRI
magnetic resonance imaging
- See MRI
magnetic resonance imaging
- A technique for forming detailed images of internal organs and tissue. It works by putting the patient inside a magnet, then using radio waves to locate atoms in the tissue. Final production of the image is done by a computer . ( Compare x-ray and ultrasound .)
