Are MRI scans harmful

Answer 1

No MRI is not harmful to the body of people.

Answer 2

In general, the MIR (magnetic resonance imaging) is a useful diagnostic tool. It can allow the imaging team to "see" things not visible using other imaging tools or diagnostic precedures. The scan involves causing atomic nuclei to resonate or "ring" when they are pulsed with a brief magnetic "kick" administered by the machine. As long as an individual does not have any implants, this whole process is quite benign; the body suffers no ill affects. There are some individuals who absolutely cannot undergo an MRI, but it is due to implanted devices or prosthetics and the affect of the magnetic pulse on them than on the rest of the body. Anyone with any implanted cardiac device will not be "MRI safe" and will not be scanned. A number of other implants will also disqualify a possible candidate. A physician will make the call, however. Remember that a person who has "all his natural parts" and "no added equipment" will not be affected by the MRI. The concern is that it only affects "other stuff" from a medical standpoint. Why not use the link to the Wikipedia article on MRI's and check out the safety issues? It's a short hop and a relatively easy read.
