Two of the body parts which do not appear in MRI may be:

  1. A
    molar teeth and eye lens
  2. B
    scapula and canines
  3. C
    ligaments and ribs
  4. D
    tendons and premolars.

Solution & Step-by-step Explanation

Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) relies on the resonance of hydrogen nuclei (protons), primarily found in water and fat. Dense bony structures like the scapula and teeth (canines) contain very little water and therefore produce negligible signals, making them appear poorly or not at all in standard MRI scans compared to soft tissues.
