What are the advantages of MRI?

MRI is "noninvasive." MRI does not use X-rays, so there is no exposure to ionizing radiation. Injections or doses of imaging contrast are given as needed. There are no known side effects from MRI.

In addition to your safety and comfort, MRI offers an exceptional view of internal organs. The high sensitivity of MRI, combined with three dimensional viewing, produces diagnostic images of outstanding clarity.

MRI can eliminate the need for biopsy or exploratory surgery in some cases, and can detect problems that have been hidden on prior tests. This can result in earlier diagnosis of many diseases.
