☢️What is MRI?
Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) is a scanning technique for creating detailed images of the human body. It uses a strong magnetic field and radio waves to generate images of various body parts that cannot be seen well with X-rays, CT scans or ultrasound (Lewis 2017).
☢️Job Opportunity
MRI technologists are responsible for capturing images on MRI scanners that can help diagnose a patient. This process involves injecting patients with dyes that will work with the magnetic energy to contrast the images on the scanner’s screen, making the organs and other internal body parts easier to see.
