MRI for Skin Cancer 

Magnetic resonance imaging or MRI is one of the innovative diagnostic technologies used by Cancer Treatment Centers of America (CTCA) to precisely pinpoint cancer cells within your body. MRI uses magnetic energy and radio waves to create cross-sectional images or "slices" of the human body. The main component of most MRI systems is a large tube-shaped (cylindrical) magnet.

MRI allows for more soft tissue contrast than CT (computerized tomography) scans. It may help CTCA doctors determine if the skin cancer has spread, enabling them to identify the stage of the disease. This helps CTCA doctors recommend the treatments that may help you the most.
