Bioeffects of MRI

Bioeffects of MRI refer to how magnetic resonance imaging interacts with the body’s tissues. MRI uses powerful magnetic fields, radio waves, and gradients to produce detailed images. These fields can cause slight and temporary effects, such as sensations of tingling or heating in tissues, but they are generally safe for most people. The strongest concern is with implants or devices that might be affected by the magnetic field, like pacemakers. Overall, MRI is a safe, non-invasive diagnostic tool, with bioeffects well-understood and carefully managed to minimize risks.
