MRI scanning requires putting the area that is to be imaged within a magnet, and then recording the magnetic properties of the tissues within. Images are formed on a computer screen which normally relate to the differing proportions of water in the various tissues. For some types of disease and some areas of the body (e.g. the limbs and head) this can give diagnostic images with exceptional clarity of both soft tissues and boney structures.
