E-cigarettes, or vapes, are largely considered a safer alternative to smoking tobacco cigarettes, but new MRI data suggest they still pose significant risk to users’ health. 

The hope is that by creating detectors that are more sensitive, less ionizing radiation will be needed to produce diagnostic quality imaging.
