An MRI is a type of medical imaging test that uses magnetic fields to visualize the inside of your body. It’s used to diagnose many different conditions, including brain tumors, spinal cord injuries, strokes, and other neurological disorders. An MRI can help doctors see if there are any problems in your brain or spine that may be causing symptoms like headaches, dizziness, or numbness.
