The Most Radiation to be Concerned With....X-Ray, Cat Scan or MRI? - Dr Mandell

[@badkitty1285]

This is an important topic. Why aren’t more people viewing this? CT scans have 100x more radiation than a normal XRay.

You can have metal inside your body and have an MRI provided that the metal is non-ferrous. So if you've had a hip replacement and you have a titanium post, there was no problem having an MRI. To say any metal in your body is no good is a misstatement.

So a Full CARDIAC MRI Heart scan is way better for detecting Plaque in Arteries *Atherosclerosis Disease* than the supposed C.T Angiogram right? just double checking since i found out a C.T heart scan on *Chest* is 100 times more Radiation than normal conventional chest X-ray from Dr Mercola's website. i think i will stick to a MRI full Heart scan with ZERO radiation. Can you elaborate few more Doctor? Thanks God Bless, Daniel

I refuse any thing that has contrast dye to, I have had MRI's and ct scan and I have had contrast dye but no more for me.

[@badkitty1285]

Would you elaborate on why you would not recommend contrast dye. I need this information.

[@jimmysavage258]

@@badkitty1285contrast dye is brutal. Just say no!

I have to do contrast dye for an image of my appendix?

[@delpayton415]

What about detoxing from PET scan. I feel very sick.

[@IggyArssie]

What about the ultrasound heart test for a function or abnormalities? Is that technology OK as far as harm to a body

[@lauragrover6717]

I need to know if there is a way to get the dye back out of the body after a cat scan

[@juvysmith8544]

I am asking about ultrasound, is it high radiation than MRI

[@laurenclark1480]

Between meds and scans i dont know whats causing my ilness. I tested highly allergic to all these. Even Barium and polladium

[@maferi7726]

Dr. Mandell, my child who is 4 years of age has been referred for a CT scan to find out whether his hearing loss in one ear can be progressive. Could that clinical question be answered with a different test that does not have radiation? Thank you for your time and for sharing this information.

Does it even matter? They did that to almost 40 years ago

[@apoloniom5]

How much is the cat scan, Mir, with insurance

[@Coltrieversandcooking]

I had a spinal X-ray every month for 3 months from chiropractor due to car wreck. Would that increase cancer

Consume raw garlic and purple onion every day and you will live healthy and long. 30 workers from the nuclear centre of Fukushima were put under this diet 40 years ago and guess what? They are all healthy and some of them in their 90-s. Don't worry, the human body is amazing in keeping itself healthy if you provide it with those superfoods. In my village people consume a lot of garlic, onion, and extra virgin olive oil. They are all healthy and they reach their 90-s easily. It's not a simply coincidence, I guess, so eat well and live happy 😊.

Hello, I had ct scan and after that my body started smell really weird for two weeks like before scan everything was fine I’m really worried can you tell me what to do ?

[@apoloniom5]

I'm extremely worried about my neck

[@IggyArssie]

I didn’t say what’s wrong, but what about acupuncture? It seems to work for a lot of people.

[@KimberlyADarling]

I feel so sick after PET scan.

[@newbietoytbiz950]

@KimberlyADarling I hope you’re feeling better now. I’m debating whether to have the pet scan

[@jacksalvatierra7959]

Dr. how much radiation is in a Thorax-Abdomen-Pelvis CT-Scan? my Dr. had ordered me that.

[@micah7685]

10 to 20 mgy or msv. A huge dose of radiation. The same amount of radiation as many Hiroshima survivors in just one scan. I learned the hard way and suffered from radiation sickness after mine. Get an mri or uktrasound next time

[@micah7685]

You can get your dose report from the hospital if you had this done
