A member asked:
If i need an mri in india, how do i know the equipment is used correctly and the amount of exposure is safe?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Exposure - no worry: Mri uses magnets, so you won't have any exposure to radiation. Regarding reading of films or the machine being used correctly, it all depends on the facility.
