Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) is non-invasive and provides exquisite images with excellent contrast detail of soft tissue and anatomic structures like gray and white matter in the brain or small metastatic lesions (cancers) in the liver. In comparison to conventional x-ray, which provides images of dense structures like bones with good resolution, MRI is used to provide images of soft tissues in joints like the knees, shoulders and wrists.
Magnetic Resonance Imaging is the newest diagnostic tool within Southern Health-Santé Sud at Boundary Trails Health Centre.
