Is It DANGEROUS to Get an MRI??!!

MRI's are among the most mysterious of x-ray procedures. The principles involved with the imaging modality are hard to grasp for some. Here are some insights from The Radiology Coach on the effects, or lack thereof, of Magnetic Resonance Imaging.

I’m glad that I’m not crazy for feeling a sense of general wellness after getting an mri

After MRI (skeletal muscles, no contrast agent) it was difficult for me to walk, I felt weak and dizzy and had slow and irregular heartbeat. Next day still in zombie state. MRI never again.

I suggest you bring ear muffs you van get oned certified safe. They gave me ear plugs but i have tinnitus and i have to avoid loud sounds. I had loud ringing and it was very uncomfortable during the test. I wont do again unless i can wear both ear plugs and ear muffs.

I had an MRI of the shoulder today. We got halfway and i had to stop. It was fine untill my body reached its “ energy absorption limit’. I could feel something was wrong and almost fainted. It was so intense I felt my whole torso warming up and was nauseating so bad! My thoughts were all over the place and I felt it was attacking my central nervous system. I stopped the scan. Feel like I have been fried. I wrote IMED Radiology and email asking for an explanation. Never again. If you feel something is wrong. STOP immediately

I had a brain MRI and my top left side of the brain felt as my skin was being pulled away from my head. I with much certainty can tell were on my brain the pictures were being taken. I was not claustrophobic nor anxious and i know what i felt.

I am so scared to get my MRI done after reading all this

My neurologist said to never use dye.. That no one should, it is unsafe. IDK *sigh*

I had an MRI on my left kidney which had swollen to twice the normal size. I was peeing stones every few weeks. After the MRI, I was really kidney sore and peed a cloudy yellow color for 2 weeks. Now my kidney is normal sized and I've had no stones since. What gives?

Those contrast IV liquids are irritants, capable of causing allergic reactions. I should know, after having one, and needed an injection of liquid concentrated Benadryl to correct the bodies reactions. It is dangerous to say these things are safe, when in fact there is a risk. It is irresponsible to make these procedures sound completely harmless.

"Must go through three layers of security checks" (except in Turkey 🤣) worst MRI experience I've ever had!

It has been over 2 months since MRI of brain without contrast. I still didnt get my normal balance. MRI had massive effect on heart, its not working well. Energy level became much much worse, any physical activity makes me very fatigue and weak, with further long 13 h sleep. Total run down of energy. Brains also changed, memory and cognitive ability much slower now:( Blood test didnt show anything, but Koagulation has changed, blood now is liquid APTL. I believe MRI killed neurons on masses. Doctors say I have to do total health check up, for my own money. It looks like "patient healed = customer lost". Corrupted medical society👎👎👎I was totally healthy before MRI, and after it my life changed into misery. No idea if it ever goes away

I had a plan mri of shoulder and had blurr vision and some redness in eye

My friend got an MRI and it damaged his cellphone and melted it.

4 months ago I did MRI of brain withoit injection. After this I turned completly ill. MRI affected my heart, holter heart monitoring showed tachicardy. Never had heart issues before MRI. My face has become ugly. Day by day I started noticing changes in appearance. Strong magnetic field destroyed my hormonal system so badly, that people dont recognize me on streets. I have been to numerous Neurologists here, asking their conclusion with stamp and signature, that all these were result after MRI. Instead, dictors verbally admitted the harm, yet affraid to evidence in in written. Folks! Medical society is mafia. Now they send me to.psychiatrist to take toxic pills. They created horrible situation for me, and now to avoid court and lawyers, they try make me be a frazy patient. Folks! Whoever faced same hell, respind to me. Lets sue the hell machine manufacturer.
