Currently, Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) is a modern and safe imaging diagnostic method recommended by many healthcare professionals due to its ability to provide detailed images of the body without using X-rays. So, does MRI have any impact on health and longevity? Let’s explore this issue further with Ishii Saigon Japanese Medical Clinic.
What is MRI?
MRI (Magnetic Resonance Imaging) is an imaging diagnostic method that uses strong magnetic fields and radio waves to reconstruct images of soft tissues, internal organs, blood vessels, and many other parts of the body. This enables doctors to accurately detect and diagnose complex medical conditions that may be difficult to identify with other diagnostic methods.
Does MRI affect longevity?
According to healthcare experts, MRI is a safe method that does not affect the long-term health of patients. This method does not use X-rays or any type of radiation that could harm the body. The magnetic fields and radio waves used in MRI do not affect cells, and therefore do not cause biological changes in the body. Thus, patients can be completely assured of the safety of this method.
What cases should be considered when undergoing an MRI?
Although MRI is very safe, there are still some cases to consider. The following individuals should inform their doctor... before undergoing an MRI scan.:
- Individuals with metal devices in their body, such as pacemakers, artificial heart valves, or other types of metal implants.
- Pregnant women, especially during the first trimester.
- Individuals with a history of allergies to contrast agents (if they need to be used).
