Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) provides incredible images of the human body using magnetic fields and radio waves.  An MRI technologist is an expert in high-definition brain and spinal imaging.  MRI is also the exam of choice for complete stroke evaluation, muscle and joint imaging, many kinds of cancer, and is quickly becoming a valuable tool in women’s health and breast imaging.
