This is a case of multiple hemangiomas (benign vascular masses) in the liver characterized on a T1 post-contrast MRI sequence.

MRI can be used to diagnose infections in the bones.
This is a case of an abscess and osteomyelitis in the proximal tibia.

MRI is very useful in the diagnosis of ischemic stroke.

In acute stroke the movement of water is restricted due to cell swelling and cell membrane dysfunction.

DWI is an advanced MRI technique that shows bright signal when the movement of water is restricted and helps detect acute stroke.

The difference between cerebrospinal fluid and the spinal cord on MRI helps identify cases of spinal cord compression

In this case there are metastatic masses in the spinal canal compressing the thoracic spinal cord

Cardiac MRI can be used to evaluate the structure of the heart (in this case there is hypertrophic cardiomyopathy)

It can also be used to evaluate the function of the heart by taking multiple images during the cardiac cycle

The blood perfusion to the heart can be assessed by using special post-contrast MRI techniques

MRI is used in the diagnosis of breast cancer.

MRI can be used for screening in high risk patients (for example patients with BRCA1 or 2 mutations).

This is a case of left sided breast cancer.

Fetal MRI can be performed to make the diagnosis of congenital or developmental abnormalities prior to delivery.

This is a case of twins where twin-twin transfusion syndrome was suspected on prior imaging.

This MRI shows normal twin pregnancy.
