How does an MRI work?

Question

I don’t even know the right kind of flair for this question- tech? physics? biology?

​

eta: thank you everyone! This is all very helpful. I was in the big MRI tube yesterday and had no idea how the technology actually worked. So cool!

Now that your question has been answered, I wanted to point out that you weren’t sure what “flair” to use for the post. One of the MRI modes is called T2 Flair, so you just made an awesome joke haha.
