About decisions...: If after talking with his doctor, a patient decides to do an MRA without contrast, because the risks of the contrast outweighed the benefits of the contrast, then that must have been a good decision at the time. Humans can only make decisions that way, weigh the good and the bad, and then make the call. There is no other way (as we cannot see into the future nor travel back in time).
