âMRIâ stands for magnetic (mag-NET-ik) resonance (REZ-oh-nentz) imaging. MRI uses magnetic fields and radio waves to make pictures of the body without using x-rays. The pictures, called scans, are 3-dimensional and are shown on a screen. MRI lets doctors see very detailed images of the inside of your body. MRI passes through bone and takes pictures of soft tissue, such as tendons, blood vessels, and the brain. âMRAâ stands for magnetic resonance angiography (AN-jee-OG-ruff-ee). An MRA scan gives a view of specific blood vessels (arteries and veins). MRA may be included with an MRI exam.
