An MRI (Magnetic Resonance Imaging) is a medical imaging technique that uses magnetic fields to visualize internal structures of the body. The main benefit of an MRI is that it provides detailed images of soft tissues, such as brain tissue, without using ionizing radiation or exposing patients to harmful dyes. This makes it a very safe and effective way to diagnose many types of conditions.
