Fast-Facts On MRI's Safety And Effectiveness In The U.S.
Magnetic Resonance Imaging is a
medical diagnostic technique that creates images of the human body using
the principle of nuclear magnetic resonance. On July 3, 1977, nearly five
hours after the start of the first MRI test, the first human scan was
completed. There has been extensive developments since its early conception
with more than 34 million MRI exams being performed in the U.S. during
2014. Studies show that MRI exams are relatively safe, but many critics

tests. Experts estimate that 7% of MRIs are considered unnecessary with the
most overprescribed MRI exams including cancer, knee and shoulder pain. To
