"Although it is common to hear and see the use of the term "MRI scan", the addition of the word "scan" is redundant in most use cases. For example, "Mrs JS had an MRI scan of her liver" is rendered no less understandable if instead "Mrs JS had a MRI of her liver" is used. Indeed the addition of the word scan here is entirely superfluous; in the same tautological vein, stating "CT scan" is also pointless. Quite clearly "bone scan" is different as the term scan here is being used as a synonym for scintigraphy. "Mrs JS had a bone scan" is unintelligible if "Mrs JS had a bone" replaces it!"
"MRI scanning is not safe for patients with some metal implants and foreign bodies. Careful attention to safety measures is necessary to avoid serious injury to patients and staff, and this requires special MRI compatible equipment and stringent adherence to safety protocols (see MRI safety)."
"In general, "MRI" or "MR imaging" are used as the abbreviations for standard MRI. Often "MR" is also used as shorthand, e.g. "the patient has had MR liver", "the patient has had MR of the liver" or "the patient has had MR scanning of the liver"."

"The use of NMR to produce 2D images (later renamed MRI) was accomplished by Paul Lauterbur (1929-2007) 4, imaging water, and Sir Peter Mansfield (1933-2017) 5 who imaged the fingers of a research student, Andrew Maudsley (fl. 2023) in 1976. Maudsley continues to make a significant contribution to the development of MRI today. Raymond Damadian obtained human images a year later in 1977."
