No MRI is not harmful to the body of people.

∙ 16y agoIn 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.

CT Scans - MRI Scans
What are the responsibilities of radiologists?
To do CAT scans and MRI scans on people so you can diagnose them with a disease
How does mri scans help people?
find it lol
What type of scans give the most high quality images of the soft tissues of the brain?
MRI
Functional MRI scans can track changes this?
the answer for the crossword puzzle is origin
What is used in diagnostic imaging?
X-Rays, MRI, or CT scans.
What is a patient exposed to during MRI?
a patient is exposed to short bursts of powerful magnetic fields and radio waves from electromagnets. MRI images do not utilize potentially harmful ionizing radiation generated by three-dimensional x-ray computed tomography (CT) scans
What type of medical imaging would best be used to diagnose epileptic seizures?
CAT scans and MRI scans are often used.
What field includes CAT (computerized axial tomography) scans and MRI (magnetic resonance imaging) scans as diagnostic tools?
CAT scans and MRI scans are useful for a wide variety of medical investigations; the MRI in particular is very useful for neurological examinations, since it is otherwise very difficult to examine the brain in any detail. CAT scans can be used for all sorts of things, to investigate illness or injury in any part of the body. I had one recently for a kidney stone.
What is sometimes used in diagnostic imaging?
X-Rays, MRI, or CT scans.
What is one bad thing about MRI scans?
people might not be able to into the machine
Do CT scans usually produce sharper images of soft tissue than those obtained using MRI?
No, CT scans do not usually produce sharper images of soft tissue than those obtained using MRI.
