What is an MRI?

An MRI is a large camera that uses a magnet to take high resolution images of soft tissues as well as the head and spinal regions.
An MRI uses magnets (not radiation) to take the images. You and your child will be screened for any metal inside the body or objects that can interfere with imaging. You and your child will also be asked to remove any jewelry or other items that contain metal before entering the MRI suite.
The MRI machine is an open tunnel with a bed attached that moves in and out of the tunnel.
