Magnetic Resonance Imaging. Near as I can tell, this means that they're using either low-powered microwaves or some other form of EM to generate a picture of various pathways through the body by making them resonate (wheras a microwave oven heats things up by making them resonate).
In this case, they were MRIing my knee, which has been gettting twinges of otherwise unexplained pain I figured I should ask a doctor about.
