MRI SPECIALISTS, EXPERTS, WITNESSES & FORENSIC CONSULTANTS.
Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) is a method of obtaining images of the interiors of objects, especially living things such as humans and animals. It does not use ionizing radiation such as X-rays. Instead, it employs radio-frequency (RF) waves and intense magnetic fields to excite atoms in the object under evaluation.

Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) is a method of obtaining images of the interiors of objects, especially living things such as humans and animals. It does not use ionizing radiation such as X-rays. Instead, it employs radio-frequency (RF) waves and intense magnetic fields to excite atoms in the object under evaluation. Patterns in this excitation are observed on a display. MRI can provide real-time, three-dimensional views of body organs, muscles, and joints without invasive surgery.
The MRI procedure is considered indispensible by many physicians, especially for the evaluation of sports-related injuries and for the diagnosis of chronic disease conditions. In order to properly interpret the display of an MRI, the expertise of a physician or radiologist is required. Most lay people lack the medical knowledge to properly interpret an MRI. An MRI can reveal minor damage to tendons, ligaments, and muscles. An MRI display of the heart and surrounding arteries can provide early warning of advancing coronary disease, and can help locate cancerous tumors.
