Guest guest Posted March 15, 2009 Report Share Posted March 15, 2009 Among the numerous dangers associated with MRI's, two of the dangers that strike me as strong when considering aMRI for a child are te following: 1. Burns from touching the sides of the machine. (reference below) http://www.wrongdiagnosis.com/news/mri_dangers_with_carelessness.htm 2. The potential from heating body tissue due to the application of the radio frequency energy. (reference below) http://www.mr-tip.com/serv1.php?type=pin & sub=1 There are many other dangers associated with MRI. I would assume that these are two of the ones that are not conveyed to the patient or in the case of a minor, to their parent. If you are considering an MRI for yourself or your child, then please get FULL informed consent and be aware of all of the dangers that could possibly happen.
