How can a brain mri be done?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

MRI: You will be asked to rest on your back and not move your head during the mri. You will be moved into the scanner. The MRI machine has enormously powerful magnets which will orient hydrogen molecules into a single direction. When a when the magnet energy is changed, the hydrogen atoms give off energy which will be picked up by the computer.
