A member asked:

My 7 year old daughter needs an mri. i am 15 weeks pregnant is it safe for me to be in the room with her for emotional support during her mri?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Yes: Although these studies are often done in the radiology department, there is no radiation or x-rays involved. A MRI involves strong magnets and can even be safely preformed on pregnant women.You and your baby will be safe in that setting.
