A member asked:
Can you let me know how many mris or ct scans can you get without it being considered unsafe?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
No Set Limit: There is no radiation associated with the MRI scans so there should be no concern on that score. As far as ct scans go, the consideration is a valid indication for getting the exam done. Is the small additional risk of the exam warranted by the benefit of the study? That is a question for your doctor to decide with you.
