MRS Week: Magnetic Resonance Imaging Technologists

In recognition of Medical Radiation Sciences Week, check out this trivia.

Magnetic resonance imaging technologists (MRT(M)) at Thunder Bay Regional Health Sciences Centre produce images with excellent soft tissue discrimination using magnetic fields and radio-frequency pulses to aid in diagnosis of disease. The ability to image the patient in a variety of planes, in addition to the safety and noninvasiveness of MRI (magnetic resonance imaging), makes it a valuable tool for physicians. MRI is the fastest growing imaging modality that is replacing many invasive procedures in today’s health care environment.

Join us in thanking this amazing team for their hard work and dedication to the science of medical imaging!
