Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI)

Detailed imaging. No radiation. Expert interpretation.

Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) is a powerful, non-invasive imaging tool that provides highly detailed pictures of the body’s internal structures using magnets and radio waves—no radiation involved. Intercity Radiology providers combine advanced MRI technology with compassionate care to help diagnose and monitor a wide range of conditions with precision and comfort.

    • Non-invasive and painless

    • Most exams take 30–60 minutes

    • You may hear loud tapping sounds—ear protection is provided

    • You’ll lie still on a comfortable table that moves into the scanner

    • In some cases, contrast dye may be used to enhance the images

    • Our technologists are here to ensure you feel safe and supported throughout your scan.

    • We also offer accommodations for claustrophobic or anxious patients—ask us about options when you schedule.

    • MRI uses a strong magnetic field and radio-frequency pulses to create cross-sectional images of organs, tissues, joints, and the nervous system.

    • It’s particularly effective for evaluating soft tissue and neurological structures that can’t be seen clearly with X-ray or CT.

    • Brain & Spine: Headaches, seizures, back pain, disc disease, and neurological concerns

    • Joints & Musculoskeletal Injuries: Ligament tears, cartilage damage, chronic pain

    • Abdomen & Pelvis: Liver, kidneys, uterus, prostate, and other soft tissues

    • Blood Vessels: MR angiography for detecting aneurysms or vascular blockages

    • Breast Imaging: For high-risk screening or additional evaluation

    • Breast MRI (BMRI) for breast cancer screening and diagnostic evaluation

    • Brain MRI, MRA, MRV for tumors, aneurysms, strokes, and other neurological conditions. 

    • Musculoskeletal MRI (MSK) for evaluating joints, bones, muscles, ligaments, and tendons for injuries and abnormalities.

    • Abdominal and Pelvis MRI for assessing liver, kidneys, pancreas, uterus, ovaries, and other organs for tumors, cysts, and other abnormalities.
