  • Is there radiation in MRI? I have to get one every 3 months. Should I cut back?

  • @stormspottter Hello, thanks for your question. MRI is a technique that uses a magnetic field and radio waves to create detailed images of the organs and tissues within your body. MRIs do not use x-rays or radiation. Thanks again.

  • the acceptable dose for the public is 1 mSv per year, a x-ray worker is allowed 50 times more ionizing radiation, these x-ray workers are taking high pay for cancer. The IAEA and WHO and all American governments agree that there is no safe level of radiation. The people working in these x-ray depts are so unprotected as the shielding in these rooms are set to the lest expensive values thanks to alara. If I worked in these depts I would own my own dosimiter and not hide it behind my lead vest

  • Be careful CT scan can cause cancer.

  • Actually for professionally exposed (radiologist's ect) the max year dosage is 20mSv and for the general population is 10x less in all aspects/year. So 1-2mSv is the usual/year exposition. Regardless of the numbers i agree that 5-6mSv up to 10mSv for general population is far from dangerous in any way. The acceptable doses for professionals 20+mSv are 3-4X lower than needed for causing a chronic radiation disease and even farther for "dose dependent" diseases.

    Thank's for this video Amy Hara
