X-rays, CT scans, and MRIs are safe diagnostic tools when used by healthcare professionals. X-rays and CT scans expose the body to ionizing radiation, which carries some risk, but the benefits normally outweigh potential harm. MRI, using magnetic fields, does not involve ionizing radiation, making it safer for routine imaging. The safety of these procedures depends on appropriate medical necessity, careful dose control, and patient-specific factors.
