MRI scans are especially good at showing detailed scans of soft tissue throughout the body and brain, says Queen Square Senior Neuroradiographer Kirsty Price
Transcript
So an MRI scan shows tissues in the body, specifically anything with a lot of water molecules in. So anything, for example, CSF or water in the brain and water in muscle.
