If you’re scheduled for an MRI scan, you might have questions about safety—especially if it’s your first time. The good news is that MRI technology is one of the safest and most reliable diagnostic tools available today. At Open MRI 17, we prioritize both your comfort and your safety during every scan. Here’s what you need to know about MRI safety before your appointment.
- No Radiation Exposure
Unlike X-rays or CT scans, MRIs do not use radiation. Instead, they rely on powerful magnets and radio waves to create detailed images of your body’s internal structures, making them safe for frequent use if needed. - Safe for Most Patients
For the majority of patients, MRI scans are completely safe. However, people with certain medical implants, like pacemakers or metal clips, need to inform the technologist beforehand so appropriate precautions can be taken. - Contrast Agents and Allergies
Sometimes, doctors use a contrast agent to enhance MRI images. These agents are generally safe, but if you have a history of allergies or kidney problems, let your doctor know in advance. - Pregnancy and MRI
MRIs are usually considered safe during pregnancy, especially after the first trimester. If you are pregnant or think you might be, always share this information with your healthcare provider before scheduling a scan. - Open MRI for Comfort and Safety
At Open MRI 17, our open-design MRI machines not only provide high-quality images but also ensure a less stressful experience for patients who feel anxious or claustrophobic in traditional MRI machines.
