<unk>  MRI does not pose any specific risks compared to other indications for<unk>  and is considered a safe technique that avoids ionizing radiation. Gadolinium based contrast medium is frequently used in<unk>  and has been associated with nephrogenic systemic fibrosis, predominantly using linear compounds in patients with renal disease. More recently evidence of intra-cranial deposition of gadolinium has been shown - although no neurological effects have been reported. Genotoxic effects of<unk>  MRI have been reported in vivo and in vitro, but these findings have not been replicated by more recent studies, and are unlikely to produce the complex DNA damage associated with ionizing radiation.
