Abstract

This study provides an overview of the potential effects of the Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) technology on the human health, especially because of the electric and magnetic fields produced during the test. Although the signal-to-noise advantages of high-field MRI systems necessitate increases in the static magnetic field, this can subject the human body to significant magnetic and electric field fluctuations. This review study showed the effect level of the MRI machine of the human health depends on the strength of the magnetic and electric fields, and it endeavours to provide an up-to-date analysis of the biological effects of MRI, covering a broad range of properties from cellular and physiological to clinical aspects.
