磁共振成像（MRI）的特点是其检查过程中不存在电离辐射的风险。与X射线和CT扫描相比，MRI扫描的成像优势在于它可以提供清晰详细的软组织图像，同时也可以帮助诊断骨骼损伤或结构异常（如肿瘤）。

Magnetic   resonance imaging (MRI), uses a strong magnet linked to a computer to create   a detailed image of a cross-section of the body in black and white. The   advantage of MRI scans over X-rays and CT scans are that MRI provides clear,   detailed images of the soft-tissue structures, in addition to just the bones.   There is also no radiation involved during an MRI. MRI may also be used to   assess the results of orthopedic surgeries and joint arthritis.
