Magnetic Resonance
Magnetic resonance imaging
(MRI) uses radio waves and a magnetic field to create detailed images of
organs and tissues. MRI is highly effective in diagnosing a number of
conditions by showing the difference between normal and diseased tissues
of the body, including
- Blood vessels
- Breasts
- Bones and joints
- Organs in the pelvis, chest, and abdomen
- Spinal injuries
- Tendon and ligament tears
Products
include complete MRI and scanning systems or MR magnets for diagnostic
purposes on humans, and MR compatible accessory devices such as radio
frequency coils, patient monitoring devices, and stereotactic
localization devices.
