AB  - This paper is an anthropological approximation to Magnetic Resonance
Imaging (MRI), that as well as x-rays, ultrasound, or mammography,
are part of the group called Diagnostic Images. These
images seem to be increasingly familiar to us, as a way of visualizing
the inside the body, however, these have not always been this
way. Therefore, this paper inquires how these Diagnostic Images
have been incorporated into our daily lives and have been naturalized
to the point of open new possible ways of imagining the body.
Therefore, this paper is structured as follows: First, it illustrates
the place occupied by diagnostic images in the production of imaginaries
about the body, especially in the field of health. Then, as a
contrast, it presents a sequence of moments that characterize the
feelings of strangeness and consternation that those diagnostic images
caused in its beginning -with x-rays-. The next stage it exposes
why these images are not as neutral or reliable as they seem, but
rather they are an artifice produced by technical manipulations
and human interactions. Finally, it observes that, in spite of their
‘artificiality’, these images have more and more power in the ways
in which the body is imagined, felt, understood and intervened. In
other words, this paper is an attempt to destabilize the familial gaze
that falls on these images, and to dismantle their daily senses.
