I asked an orthopedic surgeon for an MRI of my finger injury which he said was not needed. He also told me X-Rays, MRI's are harmful. He said X-Rays have ionizing radiation and paraphrasing - said the MRI scan pulls the atoms to one side of the cell. I went to a different surgeon and asked for the MRI. The MRI was done and the report showed I didn't need the MRI. I'm very thankful the doctor warned me, although I did not follow his advice back then. His warning prompted me to research online. Scans have saved lives, but the patient should be told the risk verses benefit prior to a scan. I have thyroid nodules that continue to grow, that may have been caused by the X-Rays, scans and contrast dyes. If I had known the danger, I would have declined many of them.
So a Full CARDIAC MRI Heart scan is way better for detecting Plaque in Arteries *Atherosclerosis Disease* than the supposed C.T Angiogram right? just double checking since i found out a C.T heart scan on *Chest* is 100 times more Radiation than normal conventional chest X-ray from Dr Mercola's website. i think i will stick to a MRI full Heart scan with ZERO radiation. Can you elaborate few more Doctor? Thanks God Bless, Daniel
You can have metal inside your body and have an MRI provided that the metal is non-ferrous. So if you've had a hip replacement and you have a titanium post, there was no problem having an MRI. To say any metal in your body is no good is a misstatement.
Hello, I had ct scan and after that my body started smell really weird for two weeks like before scan everything was fine I’m really worried can you tell me what to do ?
Dr. Mandell, my child who is 4 years of age has been referred for a CT scan to find out whether his hearing loss in one ear can be progressive. Could that clinical question be answered with a different test that does not have radiation? Thank you for your time and for sharing this information.
10 to 20 mgy or msv. A huge dose of radiation. The same amount of radiation as many Hiroshima survivors in just one scan. I learned the hard way and suffered from radiation sickness after mine. Get an mri or uktrasound next time
This is an important topic. Why aren’t more people viewing this? CT scans have 100x more radiation than a normal XRay.

What about the ultrasound heart test for a function or abnormalities? Is that technology OK as far as harm to a body
How much is the cat scan, Mir, with insurance

I am asking about ultrasound, is it high radiation than MRI
Between meds and scans i dont know whats causing my ilness. I tested highly allergic to all these. Even Barium and polladium

I refuse any thing that has contrast dye to, I have had MRI's and ct scan and I have had contrast dye but no more for me.
Would you elaborate on why you would not recommend contrast dye. I need this information.
@@badkitty1285contrast dye is brutal. Just say no!
I have to do contrast dye for an image of my appendix?
@@jimmysavage258I’m in the hospital now and they are getting so upset that I’m refusing the dye!

Does it even matter? They did that to almost 40 years ago
Dr. how much radiation is in a Thorax-Abdomen-Pelvis CT-Scan? my Dr. had ordered me that.
10 to 20 mgy or msv. A huge dose of radiation. The same amount of radiation as many Hiroshima survivors in just one scan. I learned the hard way and suffered from radiation sickness after mine. Get an mri or uktrasound next time
You can get your dose report from the hospital if you had this done
I'm extremely worried about my neck
I didn’t say what’s wrong, but what about acupuncture? It seems to work for a lot of people.
