An MRI scan of sexual intercourse has captured a number of amazing images for a scientific purpose. A footage was made from a montage of scans by Vox and also features a birth as well as that of a foetus in the womb and a pair of lungs breathing.

The images were captured through a number of intimate activities which range from a French kiss to a full-fledged sexual intercourse. Also, the scans captured pictures while people speak and even while playing an instrument. Even the movement of the uvula while speaking German and Chinese were captured.

According to Irish Mirror, the scan has exposed every minute details of an intimate moment, which begins with the heart beating faster when two people kiss. The heart beating faster is a sign of excitement.

The scans were an attempt to see if images of the male and female genitals was possible during sexual intercourse, said the British Medical Journal. The footage is proof that it is very much possible. Another goal of the study is to find out if the structure that has been assumed till date during the course of sex as well as female sexual arousal are based on fact or assumption.

Experts from the British Medical Journal have said that taking magnetic resonance images of the male and female genitals during sex is possible. They added that it also strengthens the understanding of anatomy.

X-rays and CAT scans make use of harmful radiations, while MRI scans don't. This was the reason why MRI scans were used for the process so the doctors had the chance to take more pictures. MRI scans help create images that can also be moving with the help of strong magnetic fields which have an interaction with the protons inside the human body.

MRI scans are usually undertaken to understand the anatomy and physiology of the human body while in health as well as in disease. Many hospitals have taken to this technique for the purpose of medical diagnosis and for following-up without the body being exposed to ionized radiation.
