General Body MRI

MRI, or Magnetic Resonance Imaging, is a noninvasive test that uses a magnetic field and radio waves to generate detailed images of organs, soft tissues, bone and other internal structures. A Body MRI specifically focuses on the chest, abdomen and/or pelvic regions. Whether you have abdominal pain; symptoms of heart or liver disease; or have already been diagnosed with a digestive disorder, a Body MRI can help provide a complete picture of your condition or be used to monitor previously diagnosed conditions – all so you can receive the care and treatment you need. As a diagnostic study, body MRI is especially useful in the early detection of various conditions, and when treatment options are very favorable.
