The only limit of magnetic resonance is the high cost of the equipment, necessary for the creation of magnetic fields for the observation of the human body, and the maintenance costs of the aforementioned equipment.

Conceived and developed for medical uses between 1976 and 1978, magnetic resonance imaging has undergone a constant process of technological evolution over the years, which today has made it an extremely reliable diagnostic test.
