- As far as the radiation effect is concerned, MRI doesn't use any radiation. To date, no side effects from the magnetic fields or radio waves that MRI scan uses have been reported.
- Sometimes a contrast medium is used while doing MRI scanning, the most common type of contrast (dye) used is gadolinium. It is very safe. Allergic reactions to this substance rarely occur.
