| Summary | Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) is a common imaging procedure that is safe and non-invasive, as it relies on the use of different magnetic fields. It is the gold standard examination for a wide range of pathologies. However, it has many disadvantages, including the repetitive noise produced by the coils during image acquisition sequences, which can cause discomfort. The noise level often exceeds 100 dB, while the noise exposure limit for workers is set at 87 dB. There is no regulatory limit for patients. Although it is relatively loud and quite unpleasant, this noise is not harmful to health and does not amplify, contrary to the perception that one may have in the tunnel. Noise-cancelling headphones and earbuds are strongly recommended for patients to reduce any discomfort that may result |
