A member asked:
I've had 3 mris within the last three months. all of them were with contrast. is this dangerous? should i be concerned for my kidneys or anything?

MRI contrast is safe: For a person without liver or kidney disease (you'd know if you had this), gadolinium contrast is easily removed from the body. So that part is no worry. But why did you need three such expensive exams so close together, is the main question.
