Which of the following types of injuries is most likely to occur during an MRI...

MRI does not use ionizing radiation, so radiation-related injuries are not possible. The greatest risk is the “missile effect” where ferromagnetic objects (scissors, oxygen tanks, tools) are violently pulled into the MRI bore by its powerful magnetic field.

D. Missile projection (Correct): Most likely injury hazard.

A. Visual impairment: Not a typical MRI injury.

B. Radiation overexposure: MRI uses magnetic fields, not radiation.

C. Hearing loss: Possible from loud noise but mitigated with ear protection; less common than missile hazard.
