  imaging technique used in radiology to visualize
  internal structures of the body in detail. The
  scan uses magnetic and radio waves, meaning there
  is no exposure to X-rays or any other damaging
  forms of radiation. For the scan, the patient
  lies inside a large, powerful, cylinder-shaped
  magnet. Radio waves 10,000 to 30,000 times
  stronger than the magnetic field of the earth are
  then sent through the body. This affects they
  bodys atoms, forcing the nuclei into a different
  position.
