| MRI |
Imaging procedure in which a radio frequency pulse causes certain electrical elements of the injured tissue to react to this pulse and through this process a computer display and permanent film establish a visual image. MRI does not require radiation and is very useful in the diagnosis of soft tissue, disc and meniscus injuries.

| MRSA |
Abbreviation for either Multiple Antibiotic Resistant Staph. or Methicillyn Antibiotic Resistant Staph. Alken-Murray does not use Staph. in its products and we test to verify that with QC8. We also test the strains we select with common antibiotics and refuse to use any strains that are resistant to the most commonly used antibiotics, despite other favorable traits, since we do not want to risk responsibility for passing negative traits to pathogens found in nature.

| MRI |
A brain scanning technique that generates cross-sectional images of a human brain by detecting small molecular changes. MRI scans reveal a contrast between normal and abnormal tissues. The image produced is similar to those generated by CT scans. There are no side effects or risks associated with MRI scans, although MRI can affect electrical devices like pacemakers and hearing aids.

| MR |
This technique provides detailed images of body structures. It differs from a CT scan in that the patient is not exposed to X-rays. The signals generated in the tissues in response to a magnetic field produced by the instrument are converted by computer into images of body structures. Thus, the size and a change in size of organs or tumor masses, such as the lymph nodes, liver and spleen can be measured.
