Answer 3

C
Unlike CT, the MRI scanner does not use ionizing radiation to produce an image.The MRI creates images of the body by using a combination of radiofrequency waves and a strong magnetic field.Ultrasonography images are produced by high-frequency sound waves, and any invasive procedure would put a patient at some risk.
