Are too many mri scans bad for you?
I had a head/brain mri 1 month ago and I need to get another one. Is too much mri scans bad for you? Especially only after just 1 month? I read too many ct scans are bad, but what about mri scans?

Absolutely no documented risk whatsoever. They don't use radiation at all.

No documented side effects/risks from the magnetic field produced by an MRI, not like you get with radiation in CT scans, etc. which can damage DNA. :yesyes:
