Why Would You Get an MRI?

A MRI helps a doctor diagnose a disease or injury, and it can monitor how well you’re doing with a treatment. MRIs can be done on different parts of your body. It's especially useful for looking at soft tissues and the nervous system.

A MRI of the brain and spinal cord looks for:

• Blood vessel damage

• Brain injury

• Cancer

• Multiple sclerosis

• Spinal cord injuries

• Stroke
