A member asked:
Are multiple mris w/out contrast safe? i've had 4 in the past 11 months (ankle, brain mra, brain mri, and another ankle). i'm concerned about exposure

Yes,: all available data indicates they are safe. There is no ionizing radiation(as in CT scans), so cumulative exposure is not an issue. The scans use magnetic fields to generate images.

You're fine.: There is no radiation exposure from MRIs. They use magnetic fields instead of radiation for their images. There is no known danger to this. Don't worry about your MRIs. Hope this helps.
