What is an MRI?

MRI scans are used to detect and diagnose several medical problems, including cancer, stroke, and heart disease.

MRI stands for magnetic resonance imaging. This is a type of scan that uses a powerful magnet to produce detailed images of the inside of your body. When an MRI scan is performed, a strong magnetic field is produced which causes protons in your body tissues to line up with their antiparallel magnetic fields (i.e., one proton would be lined up with the north pole of the magnet). This produces a signal that computer software can detect and convert into an image that shows how the tissues are arranged inside your body.

An MRI scan usually takes about 30 minutes and costs anywhere from $500 to $1,000 depending on where you live and what hospital you go to.
