An MRI scan makes the use of radio waves and magnetic field to capture detailed images inside the body without making a surgical incision. An MRI scan helps the doctor to view the soft tissue of the body such as organs and muscles, without the bones obstructing the view. An MRI scan of the hip joint is ordered by the doctor to see the blood vessels, organs, bones and other tissues in the area between the hips that holds numerous critical muscles and reproductive organs. An MRI is considered safe especially for young children and pregnant women because it doesn’t make use of radiations.
