The MRI machine uses a powerful magnetic field and radio waves to create highly detailed images of the body. It’s able to detect changes in the soft tissues of the body that may indicate inflammation or other abnormalities, allowing our radiologists to diagnose issues in the head and neck accurately and quickly.
MRI scans are best for examining soft tissues of the body, such as the nerves, while CT scans are better suited for looking at bones and other hard structures. MRI scans also have a much higher resolution than CT scans, which makes them ideal for capturing detailed images of the soft tissues in the body.
