Prepare for Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI)

How to Prepare for an MRI

Cardiac MRI scan

Science 🔬 on Instagram: "An MRI (Magnetic Resonance Imaging) scan uses a strong magnetic field and radio waves to create detailed images of the body’s internal structures, especially soft tissues. The magnet aligns hydrogen atoms in the body, and a pulse of radio waves temporarily disrupts this alignment. As the atoms return to their original state, they emit signals that are detected and processed by a computer to form the images doctors use to examine patients. The first MRI machines were dev

Evolve Insights on Instagram: "The magnetic field inside an MRI machine is so powerful it can pull metal objects across an entire room. MRI—Magnetic Resonance Imaging—uses magnets up to 60,000 times stronger than Earth’s magnetic field to align hydrogen atoms inside your body. When radio waves pass through, those atoms release tiny signals that computers convert into detailed images of your organs and tissues—no cutting, no radiation, just pure physics. Because the magnet never truly “turns off,
