Inside View
Inside an MRI machine is a huge magnet. It's like a super-powered magnet.
This giant magnet is very strong. It can move heavy metal objects from far away!
The strong magnet helps the MRI machine see inside your body without surgery.
With this magnet, doctors can look at your muscles, bones, and even your brain!
The magnet and a computer work together to make pictures of the inside of your body.
Unlike X-rays, MRI uses magnetic fields and radio waves, which are safer for you.
No! The MRI machine makes loud noises when the magnet is working. It sounds like a drum!
When you have an MRI scan, you need to stay very still so the pictures are clear.
