Assessing biological effects and ensuring safety in magnetic resonance imaging
Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) is a widely used medical imaging technique that relies on powerful magnetic fields and radio waves to generate detailed images of the human body. While MRI is generally considered safe, it is crucial to continually assess its biological effects and ensure patient safety. This abstract reviews the current understanding of the biological effects of MRI, including thermal and non-thermal effects, and highlights the importance of monitoring and minimizing potential risks. It emphasizes the need for rigorous safety standards, appropriate patient screening, and ongoing research to advance our knowledge and ensure the continued safety and effectiveness of MRI as a diagnostic tool
