The MRI scan is a very safe form of soft tissue imaging. It poses very little harm or risk to patients who need to use it.

The first full body MRI scanner was made by Raymond Vahan Damadian, who was the first to patent this tech.

The MRI makes an image of the body by implementing a magnetic field. For this reason Those who have metallic implants may have difficulty with this type of imaging, but apart from that it is a low risk way to image the body.
