Are there any risk?
MRI units are very safe. There are no known side effects, but it is not usually recommended to have an exam during pregnancy unless medically indicated. However, to be perfectly safe we prefer to scan pregnant women only if the symptoms indicate that the scan can't wait until the baby is born and the patient signs an informed consent. If you are breast feeding and are required to have an exam with contrast, we ask that you suspend nursing for at least 24 hours after the exam.
