Are There Risks Associated with Neuroimaging?

While neuroimaging is generally safe, there are some risks associated with certain techniques. For example, CT scans expose patients to ionizing radiation, which can increase the risk of cancer over time. MRI scans do not use ionizing radiation but may not be suitable for patients with certain types of metal implants. PET scans involve the injection of radioactive tracers, which carry a small risk of radiation exposure.
