MRI is a sophisticated diagnostic tool that uses a magnetic field to scan inside the body, and is especially effective in imaging soft tissues. It produces detailed 3-dimensional images allowing a physician to more easily and accurately diagnose illness or disease. Among its many advantages, an MRI is ideal for:
- Diagnosing multiple sclerosis
- Diagnosing tumors of the pituitary gland and brain
- Diagnosing infections in the brain, spine or joints
- Visualizing shoulder injuries, or torn ligaments in the wrist, knee and ankle
- Evaluating masses in soft body tissues, bone tumors, cysts, and bulging or herniated discs in the spine

speech and occupational therapy.
