My doctor wants to do an MRI. What is it, and what will it show?

MRI stands for magnetic resonance imaging. This kind of test uses magnetic and radio waves to show layers of soft tissues such as muscles, tendons, blood vessels, and nerves. Doctors use these MRI "slices" to see if there are problems in the soft tissues.
