Solution
The correct option is B Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI)
MRI scanners use magnetic fields and radio waves to form images of the body. The technique is widely used in hospitals for medical diagnosis, staging of disease and for follow-up without exposure to ionizing radiation. Since, MRI does not use any ionizing radiation, its use is generally favoured in preference to CT when either modality could yield the same information. Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) provides more detailed anatomical images due to high spatial resolution, superior contrast resolution, and multiplanar capability. State-of-the-art MRI techniques, such as diffusion weighted imaging (DWI), MR spectroscopic imaging (MRSI), dynamic contrast enhanced MRI (DCE-MRI), improve interpretation of cancer imaging.
