GE Medical designers come up with way to take the fear out of CT, MRI, and PET scans for children. There is good still happening in this world.

I wouldnt get a ct scan if they had unicorns pooping out skittles. That is hundreds to over a thousand, depending, amount of radiation of a regular xray. Not insignificant.

Mris are the wonderful way to go. It is nice if they can hit your vein the first time with the dye.
