MRI can scrutinize nearly every body part, offering highly detailed images of soft tissues such as the brain. However, areas filled with air or dense bone appear black on MRI scans as they do not emit an MRI signal. Different tissues, like bone marrow, spinal fluid, blood, and soft tissues, exhibit varying intensities on the scan, ranging from black to white. This variance depends on the water and fat content in each tissue and the scan's machine settings. By comparing the sizes and patterns of these light and dark areas, the radiologist assesses tissue health.
