context_page_description: Magnetic resonance imaging, or nuclear magnetic resonance imaging, are techniques that doctors use to give a visual representation of soft tissue inside the body. Magnetic resonance uses nuclear magnetic resonance to generate these images.
  To take an MRI image, the patient lies on a movable bed. The bed enters a strong magnetic field and then radio waves are applied for a short time in a different direction. This sudden shift causes certain atoms in the patient's body to make special signals. The MRI scanner detects those special signals.
  The MRI scanner then sends the signal information to a computer, and the computer creates an image of the inner body by using the signal information.
