MRI was originally called NMRI (nuclear magnetic resonance imaging), but "nuclear" was dropped to avoid negative associations.

Probably because while nuclear medicine and most of radiology uses actual ionizing radiation for almost everything... NMR is ironically one mode that doesn’t involve it at all. Per informed consent, patients ought to know that XRay and CT and nuclear studies involve radiation, it would be unethical to hide that. But MR shouldn’t have an unnecessary image problem.

Nitpick: modern bone density scans use X-rays, and don't typically fall under nuclear medicine.
