Who We are
MRI or Magnet Resonance Imaging uses a magnetic field and radio frequency pulses to produce images inside the human body. This is a non-invasive technique for diagnosing, detecting, and treating various diseases. Magnetic Resonance Angiography (MRA) takes images of the arteries of the human body. Magnetic Resonance Venography (MRV) takes images of the human body's veins.
