Likely Jan Lukas<p>Finally, earlier today I had to have an <a href="https://mstdn.ca/tags/MRI" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>MRI</span></a> with contrast. Unlike the <a href="https://mstdn.ca/tags/esophagram" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>esophagram</span></a> and <a href="https://mstdn.ca/tags/CTscan" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>CTscan</span></a>, an MRI does NOT use radiation. </p><p>For those other scans, metal can interfere with an image being taken by blocking the <a href="https://mstdn.ca/tags/xrays" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>xrays</span></a>.</p><p>But the M in MRI stands for <a href="https://mstdn.ca/tags/magnetic" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>magnetic</span></a>, so the problem here is with metal and magnets being incompatible with <a href="https://mstdn.ca/tags/MedicalImaging" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>MedicalImaging</span></a>.</p><p>16/x</p>
