Do you think CT scans and MRI's are Safe?


I have had numerous CT's and MRI's done, so when I heard of this I felt I should share what I now know, what do you think?

Be an Informed patient, always ask plenty of questions....How do you feel about these reports and would you have it done knowing the Risks?

hi there look the way isee it is that i have a few things that are not going the way i want it to behealth wise ,so i need to find out how /where /and if possible why ,so sometimes my only option is to get these tests done and so the doctors know what is not working and what is working ,and believe me they have helped a hell of a lot as if i hadnt had these tests done ,well i would still be in a lot of pain at least now we all know what is going on ,and the if my mother hadnt had some of her tests done we would never have found out that she had ,had strokes which no one knew about ,the doctors where suprized to find that out so there for ,yes there are risks but so has everything we do in life ,so yes if more of these tests are needed on me then yes i will quite happily have them done ........take care xx

for one every single one of the links doesn't exist. So, find new ones. I have had ct scans and mris my whole life and I KNOW they are safe.
