MeSH Heading: Magnetic Resonance Imaging
Tree Number(s): E01.370.350.825.500
Unique ID: D008279
RDF Unique Identifier: http://id.nlm.nih.gov/mesh/D008279
Annotation: general or unspecified; prefer specifics; do not confuse with MAGNETIC RESONANCE SPECTROSCOPY: check text
Scope Note: Non-invasive method of demonstrating internal anatomy based on the principle that atomic nuclei in a strong magnetic field absorb pulses of radiofrequency energy and emit them as radiowaves which can be reconstructed into computerized images. The concept includes proton spin tomographic techniques.
