"I wonder how much THAT thing will irradiate us."

From the article: "non-destructive to sensitive biological materials".

Then I wonder why doctors try to limit people’s exposure to MRIs.

After getting orthopedically “busted up” a couple times over the last decade or so, I’ve had quite a few MRIs, and my doctors have been leery about doing more of them (it is not an insurance thing, I am VERY well coverded).

While I know that “regular” Alpha/Beta/Gamma Radiation is not a factor as it is with CT scans and conventional x-rays, I do not think repeated and large-scale exposure to high-power electro-magnetic radiation is considered to be good for the human body.

I wonder if there are any MRI technicians or doctors out there who can help me understand this?
