-
they're emitting radio frequency radiation which you can detect.
-
Now, this involves magnetic fields, strong magnetic fields.
-
It involves radio frequency radiation, the kind of radiation
-
that radio stations use to broadcast signals
-
that are picked up by antennas.
-
These are generally presumed to be safe for biological tissues.
-
There's no ill effects that we know of, of exposure to magnetic fields
-
or radio frequency radiation at these wavelengths.
-
So, it doesn't have the same concerns
-
that X-ray radiation or other kinds of radiation,
-
which I'll talk about in a few minutes, have.
-
This is some examples of MR images.
