A member asked:
Is it dangerous to have too many mris ? i've had 7 within 3 months, already.

No: There is no scientific evidence of any harmful effects of MRI under normal conditions. There is no cumulative dose effect of the magnetic field, as there is with radiation and multiple CT scans, for example.
