 Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) is a sophisticated diagnostic technique that uses a magnetic field, radio waves and a computer to generate detailed and cross-sectional images of human anatomy. Because it produces better soft-tissue images than X-rays, MRI is most commonly used to create sharp images of the brain, spine, thorax, vascular system and musculoskeletal system (areas like the knee and the shoulder). MRI is safe and noninvasive and produces no X-ray radiation, although it is not generally recommended for pregnant women. There are no known side effects or after effects.
At Cibola General Hospital, the MRI unit is high-field, high-service for faster and more precise images. Also, the unit is mobile and is available one day each week.
