Are ct scans and mris harmful if i try to conceive on tye same cycle? I m a 25 year old white female and I weigh 152 pounds. My husband and I have a beautiful 13 mth old baby boy and we have been trying to conceive again, but there is one little problem. I just got home from the ER in which I had to get ct scan. I found out that I have a herniated disk in on my lower back. I also have to follow up with an MRI. I m also ovulating this week and I m just wanting to know if it is a good idea to continue trying to conceive during this cycle?
Hi, yes CT scan is harmful because here they use ionizing radiation and computers to create images of internal organs. There are potentially many side effects, here are the most common side effects in your case:Organ failure and Gene mutations. Mri is safe in your case. If planning for conception avoid X-rays, and Ct scans .MRI uses magnetic field hence it is safer and cancer
