Abstract

This work, discusses the effects of an MRI device on human blood, through evaluating exposure of two human groups electromagnetic radiation emitted from MRI devices during the diagnosis of diseases. The work was carried out at the teaching hospital of Fallujah by taking nine samples of blood from people of different ages ranging 10 – 60 – 10 years for both sexes. A complete blood count (CBC) measure of these samples, was undretaken for each of the following platelet count (PLT), red  blood cell (RBC), and white blood cell (WBC). Results show that the MRI device produce no effects on the human blood of PLTs number, nor RBCs and WBCs.  Consequently, we find that use of MRI device is safe on human blood cell counts.
