Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) is a non-invasive diagnostic imaging method that uses powerful magnetic fields and radiofrequency energy, rather than ionizing radiation, to produce detailed images of internal organs, soft tissues, and bone. Because it does not expose patients to radiation, MRI occupies a distinct place among radiological techniques and is often chosen for repeated imaging or for soft-tissue questions where computed tomography or nuclear methods are less informative. Within Radiation and Nuclear Medicine, MRI is frequently used alongside modalities such as CT and PET in multimodality and image-guided workflows, including the delineation of treatment targets for radiotherapy and radiosurgery and the staging and characterization of tumors. Specialized sequences extend its reach: functional MRI maps neural activity, and diffusion-weighted imaging probes tissue cellularity and water movement to aid lesion detection and differentiation. Research published in this journal and across related OpenAccessPub titles illustrates these uses, including assessment of target-volume definition for radiosurgery of atypical meningiomas with multimodality imaging, echo-planar diffusion-weighted imaging for the diagnosis of cholesteatoma, functional MRI of the human visual cortex, and imaging-based evaluation of soft-tissue masses, intracranial tumors, and other diagnostically challenging conditions.
