Re: MRI please

If possible, I would prefer MRI scanning of my body, as CT scanning always involves exposing the subject to radiation, which radiation involves a risk of creating tumors, which tumors won't show up on the CT scan of the time. I'm confident that less dangerous ways of exploring the human body will become more available.
