Question 1

are there any side effects of mri radiation?

Accepted Answer

MRI doesn't: Use ionizing radiation (used with ct scans and plain x-rays studies). It uses magnetic fields to make images and these have not been shown to harm the human body. That said, patients with certain kinds of pacemakers and other implanted devices can't be imaged with MRI because of the potential to disrupt the device or otherwise harm the patient.

Question 2

what are the risks of an mri scan? it has some side effects in the body?

Accepted Answer

MRI and SideEffects: MRI does not use Ionizing radiation like X-rays and CT scan. There are no known harmful side-effects associated with temporary exposure to the strong magnetic field. But some safety concerns: i.e. pacemakers, implanted device. contrast agents and  medication patches.

Question 3

being exposed by x-ray on the spine and 1 day after with mri can lead into what side effects ? i'm afraid if something will happen. please help?

Accepted Answer

Nothing: will happen.  There are no side effects. Having an xray has no effect on an MRI, and vice-versa.

Question 4

could an mri of the brain have any side effects?

Accepted Answer

MRI risk: There are no substantiated cases of mris directly causing medical issues as a result of getting the study. The risk with getting MRI comes with those who have metal fragments in their body or have devices such as pacemakers that are incompatible with having an mri.  The die used in mris can cause issues particularly in patients with renal problems.

Question 5

mri side effects?

Accepted Answer

None: For a routine MRI without contrast, there should be no significant side effects.

Question 6

can mri contrast dye have side effects?

Accepted Answer

Rarely.: Rare allergies.
Very rare nsf if poor kidney function.

Question 7

are there any possible side effects of mri  scan?

Accepted Answer

MRI side effects: There are side effects to everything.  MRIs expose us to magnetic fields and we do not know a great deal about their impact.  Here's a link
https://www.fda.gov/Radiation-EmittingProducts/RadiationEmittingProductsandProcedures/MedicalImaging/MRI/ucm482765.htm
The positive impact and use of MRIs far outweighs any potential risk.  Peace and good health.

Question 8

im 18 years old is mri risky ? what are the side effects?

Accepted Answer

No, none: Mris are not risky at all.  There is no radiation. X-rays are not used.  If your particular study needs a contrast dye, that is something to look into if you have allergies to certain chemicals or kidney disease.  Also, you can't have any metal in your body, including piercings and some body modifications (e.g. Certain tattoos).

Question 9

are there any side effects of using mri on a 2 years old ?

Accepted Answer

Not usually: The risk of exposure to irradiation is circumvented, whatever little risk that might exist has to be of course outweighed by the reason for the MRI. Very young children usually require sedation for MRI which may have its own inherent risks as with any procedure. These issues should be carefully discussed with your health provider. Take care.

Question 10

is their any side effects of mri. does it lead to neuropathic problem?

Accepted Answer

No worries: Mri will not cause neurological injury. The contrast used, if needed, is also very safe but they may check your kidney function first if you have risk factors for kidney disease. Mri is a very safe exam used on hundreds of thousand of patients every year without complications.
