About MRI Scans

  • MRI uses powerful magnetic fields and radio waves to produce highly detailed images of the bodyu2019s internal structures, without using ionising radiation.
  • It is particularly effective at visualising soft tissue, which makes it the modality of choice for assessing injuries to the spinal discs, joints, ligaments, tendons and the brain.
  • In medico-legal claims, an MRI can confirm or clarify the extent of an injury that examination alone cannot establish, providing objective evidence to support an expertu2019s opinion.
  • Scans may cover one or more anatomical areas, and specialised studies such as MRI arthrograms are available where joint detail is required.
  • MRI is highly sensitive, which is one of its great strengths but also a reason for careful interpretation.
