The spinal cord is the only place in the human body where a significant magnetic field is produced: This statement is incorrect. While the spinal cord contains nerve cells and electrical activity, it is not the only place where a significant magnetic field is produced in the human body. The human body, in general, produces very weak magnetic fields.

MRI (Magnetic Resonance Imaging) uses the magnetic field produced within the human body to get internal images: This statement is correct. MRI utilizes the magnetic properties of hydrogen nuclei in the body to create detailed internal images. It does not produce a magnetic field within the body but relies on the response of hydrogen nuclei to an externally applied magnetic field.
