According to Medical Island.net, Nikola Tesla was the first to discover the rotating magnetic field that made magnetic resonance possible. MRI stands for Magnetic Resonance Imaging and is a medical test that physicians/doctors use to have a better understanding of a diagnose or to discover the diagnose. It is also used to treat medical conditions. This medical imaging technique uses radio waves, a magnetic field, and a computer to produce clear and detailed images of the inside boy. Such thing produces images of organs and the brain. MRI is applied in many different ways such as in the field of neurology, cardiology, cancer, and soft tissue damage. Thus, meaning this technique is mostly used in hospitals and clinics. Throughout time MRI’s have been used to monitor, view, or diagnose things such as breast cancer, tumors, muscle or heart vessels problems, and disorders. The first ever MRI scan took about 5 …show more content…
Some of the pros of using this technique is that it is safe and painless. To be clearer, this scanners/machines do not use ionising radiation. Also, MRIs provide a detailed diagnostic image of the most important organs that can be help doctors diagnose the person’s health or problem. Although this machines has its advantages, some of the disadvantages is the small space of this machine. As said before, this may not be suitable for people who have claustrophobia. This machine also creates loud bangs and noises which causes discomfort. This discomfort leads to the person moving and affecting the image outcome. MRIs are also very expensive.
When only taking in consideration the risks and concerns, I believe MRIs face a potential risk to people who are using it. MRIs provide a detailed image of the most important organs and heart vessels problems. However, people who have artificial heart vessels cannot use this technique because of its powerful magnetic field. So how can physicians/doctors have a better
