MRI safety

Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) is a safe imaging technique that uses strong magnets and radio waves to create detailed images of the body's organs and tissues. However, because of the powerful magnets, safety precautions are essential. Patients with certain implants (like some pacemakers, cochlear implants, or metal fragments) may be at risk. It's important to inform the MRI staff about any medical devices or metal in your body. Additionally, loud noises occur during the scan, so ear protection is provided. Overall, with proper precautions, MRI is a valuable and safe tool for medical diagnosis.
