MRI stands for Magnetic Resonance Imaging, which is an examination using a magnetic field imaging machine. Used in the diagnosis of patient lesions to be used in the treatment and follow up on treatment results. Relying on the magnetic properties of hydrogen atoms (Hydrogen, H). Which are the main components within the human body. Such as water molecules (H2O), etc.
When the patient is under the electromagnetic field The device emits radio waves of a specific frequency. (Radiofrequency) to stimulate the organ system to be examined.
