A number of features of MRI scanning can give rise to risks.

These include:

  • Powerful magnetic fields
  • Radio waves
  • Cryogenic liquids
  • Noise
  • Claustrophobia.

In addition, in cases where MRI contrast agents are used, these also typically have associated risks.

Famous quotes containing the word safety:

    The high sentiments always win in the end, the leaders who offer blood, toil, tears and sweat always get more out of their followers than those who offer safety and a good time. When it comes to the pinch, human beings are heroic.
    George Orwell (1903–1950)

    ... what a family is without a steward, a ship without a pilot, a flock without a shepherd, a body without a head, the same, I think, is a kingdom without the health and safety of a good monarch.
    Elizabeth I (1533–1603)

    Love no man in good earnest, nor no further in sport
    neither, than with safety of a pure blush thou mayst in
    honor come off again.
    William Shakespeare (1564–1616)
