Magnetic resonance imaging is a non-surgical procedure that uses radio waves, magnets, and computer applications to get detailed three-dimensional images of the body’s interior structures, such as muscles, soft tissues, and organs.

Types of MRI are as follow:

Open MRI: There are two magnets in the open MRI machine, one is on the top of the body, and the other is beneath.

Closed MRI: It is the traditional MRI machine whose edges are closed. For a closed MRI, the doctor allows the individual to lie in a tube-shaped channel, where the magnetic ring surrounds the entire body.

Doctors use MRI to identify a variety of medical illness. Some of the health issues that MRI can detect are as follows:

• Tumors in different body parts
• Abnormality in the spinal cord and brain
• Joint abnormalities in knee and back
• Heart problems
• Liver disease
• Uterine abnormalities in a woman

People on contrast material for MRI might have the following side effects:

• Pain in the injection site
• Headache
• Nausea and vomiting
• Allergic reactions such as itching, hives
