A
Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI)
💡 Explanation:
Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) uses strong magnetic fields and non-ionizing radio waves to generate detailed images of internal body structures. Unlike X-rays and Computed Tomography (CT) scans, MRI does not expose the patient to potentially harmful ionizing radiation, making it the safest imaging technique among the choices for cancer detection.
