A member asked:

Can mri effect the development of sperm cells or impact sperm in anyway, pre-pregnancy that could contribute to chromosomal translocation?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

No: I am unaware of any evidence in the scientific literature that a standard diagnostic MRI has any adverse effect on sperm, developing sperm, or on a person who is pregnant or the fetus. The literature suggests that the strength of the mr field at diagnostic levels does not affect dna synthesis, cell cycle, or proliferation kinetics in a fetus.
