*gives you a high dose of radiation causing potential future cancers*

me again, want to edit my answer , it were MRI that i got not a ct scan. just looked it up in the papers to see what i got.

No dumb dumb your fine. Look up how much radiation it gives and look up how much background radiation we are exposed to a year

I'm sorry but when did people start complaining about the potential to get a terminal disease here, robots should get more scans so they can stop complaining they want to die and actually die

Good thing I don't have any tattoos, dental fillings, or any other metal in my body. My yearly MRIs are harmless.

Why tattoos are a risk?

>Die now
>Die later
Pick one

>These death machines give you 100x more radiation than a regular x-ray.
really wtf?
i was put into one of those a small kid if those are the bug loud tube machines

Ink is magnetic.

wtf are you talking about i just looked it up and it really is 300 times as much as a regular xray

>My yearly MRIs are harmless
they are not harmless, user
but there has to be a good reason to have yearly MRIs and whatever that may be, it is probably well worth the exposure
or you have a stupid radiologist and/or physician

"doctors" don't care about anyone
they just care about there sheckles

idk why this made me laugh

just get an mri?

This is the mentality of antivaxxers
Good thing you won't ever be having children

Does non ferrous metal really prevent people from getting MRIs? If so, how?

>they are not harmless, user
What harm do you think those strong magnetic fields do, user?

Thats not what chemo is. Try again

if you think a CT scan is bad you guys should look into breast tomosynthesis - mammograms were already retarded because we recommend taking them so frequently that they cause about as much breast cancer as they find, but the ((big brains)) in modern medicine decided to make a kind of mammogram that uses 10x the radiation of an ordinary screening exam and literally creates gigabytes of images of inside the breast (they've reduced it now by doing tricks using software but BT is still retarded)

>bro magnetic radiation is bad
okay brainlet

The amount of radiation in an x-ray is fucking astronomically small you walking cumstain. Holy fuck I bet you just saw "300 times the radiation" (even though it's closer to 70/100) and your neanderthal brain immediately started to freak out thinking a CT scan is equal to having Uranium shoved up your arse.
300 x 0.00000001 of something is still only 0.000003 you dribbling failure of a human.

Don't bother trying to explain math to these people.

Absolutely fucking based and redpilled. I wish they could just shove uranium up my ass.

I assume it's different in Murrica where they can make money off it but in the UK you don't get a CT scan unless you absolutely need it (and not even then sometimes) because there is usually a backlog of scans that the radiographers have to go through first so getting a non-urgent scan takes ages. Takes even longer with an MRI, even an urgent MRI will often have to wait until the next day because the hospitals only have 1 or 2 scanners (the specialist Neurosurgical unit has 4 but they are lazy wankers who don't like scanning stuff out of hours anyway).

I work in a speciality where you regularly (once or twice a week) have to take loads of XRs in theatres and might have to carry on doing that for the next few decades, some of my bosses have had colleagues die from Thyroid cancer and while it's not definitely proven to be from the XR radiation, it's possible it was.

take what you will from this chart

yeah op is a fucking retard. people dont get CT scans because their allergies are acting up, they get them because they have something life threatening. my dad got one, does that mean he is gonna die of radiation poisoning? no, he got it because otherwise he would be dead of a pulmonary embolism. fucking retard

>thinks radiation is inherently bad because muh uranium even though visible light is a form of radiation
ionizing radiation is objectively very bad for you

Tiny * 300 = still tiny.

You could get a chest X-ray every day and have a microscopic increase in risk of cancer.

No joke, smoking tobacco puts you at a higher risk of radiation poisoning, because the Tobacco plant naturally absorbs radium and radon from the soil, which get trapped in the sticky smoke and stuck in your lungs with no skin to block the Alpha and Beta rays.

The restrictions on the CT scanner in the UK is because your NHS is fucked and bloated.
The risk of cancer could be caused by improper shielding or some other factor like radiation therapy pelets.

Ionizing radiation is bad depending on the dosage and exposure. The majority of ionizjng radiation gets blocked out by the skin. However if you injest lets say, Uranium then there would be a real danger.

Also the damage from low dosages is typically less than what your body can heal in a day.

>em waves
>not radiation

You're a moron if that is what you think. The body and handle some ionizing radiation. We have a big ass source of it called the fucking sun. What we are talking her is exposure time. If you get hit by a high dose of radiation for a second you wont be in such a bad spot compared to a low but long duration dose of radiation.

Im not sure if they can because I don't fully understand these machines but if I were to take a guess changing magnetic fields can induce voltages in a non ferrous metal like copper. Which could heat up and burn or turn into an electromagnet and get pulled from your body. (Only guessing here)

>What harm do you think those strong magnetic fields do, user?
nothing particularly harmful

Op is an idiot. Smokers and stoners literally get 1000x more radiation than one ct scan. Sharing a room with a smoker is way more cancerous than any scan
