Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) as a cancer diagnostic tool
Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) is an advanced diagnostic tool that provides detailed images of structures in the body, making it extremely valuable in detecting, diagnosing and monitoring various cancers. Unlike other imaging methods that use ionizing radiation, such as X-rays or CT scans, MRI uses powerful magnetic fields and radio waves to create clear cross-sectional images of organs, tissues, and tumors. This article will explore how MRI scans work, their advantages and limitations, and their role in cancer diagnosis and care.
