title: The use of magnetic resonance imaging in diagnosis.
abstract: Until recently diagnostic radiology has been restricted to X-ray, computerised tomography (CT) and ultrasound. These techniques exploit the absorption of reflection of waves passed into or through the body. Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) actually stimulates the body to produce a signal itself.
