MRI is magnetic resonance imaging whereby high-strength magnetic fields and radio frequencies are used. This does not use any type of x-ray energy or radiation in any form.

The best examination that we can perform is when a comparison is made and any change in body structures is noted over time. This is particularly important in mammography where women very of...
