Is There Any Risk In Having A Yearly MRI Scan?
Question: Is there any risk in having yearly MRI's?
I have endometriosis, and I'm always wondering if things have gone wrong, and would love to have pelvic MRI's yearly, but I wonder if there is any risk. Also, I'd like to avoid the dye injection. Would that mean that things wouldn't be seen as clear in that area?
