Question 10

can an mri cause bleeding?

Accepted Answer

Basically NO..: This gets to the subject of MRI safety. There is a whole website dedicated to the subject (www.Mrisafety.Com). One scenario that occurs is that of the patient with a recently placed stent or other vascular device. Your radiologist can use this site to clear a device before you have a scan. If you've never had anything metal put inside of you,  MRI scan cannot  cause bleeding.
