[QUOTE="gcvmom, post: 195644, member: 3444"] I think it's actually CT scans that load you up heavily with radiation. One head CT scan is the equivalent of 100 chest x-rays or 243 days of normal background radiation we get just from living on this planet. My difficult child 1 has had 2 abdominal CT's and that's worth about 500 chest x-rays apiece -- I cringed when I found that out, but at the time, he was really sick and we had to find out what was wrong. MRI uses a giant magnet to create the image. There's no radiation involved, so you can probably rest easy :) Hope she's doing o.k. today and that tomorrow's appointment goes well! [/QUOTE]
