Question

MRI is not allowed in the following conditions except one. Identify the exception.

• A. Presence of pacemaker in the body
• B. Pregnant women
• C. Person suffering from stroke
• D. Presence of metallic plate in the body for treatment of broken bones

Answer 1

The correct option is B Pregnant women

MRI (magnetic resonance imaging) is allowed for the pregnant women as it presents no harmful effect to the offspring, as this technique does not use X-ray. MRI technique is usually performed in pregnant women when ultrasound does not give sufficient information regarding the body parts that need to be diagnosed. It is not allowed in the patient with pacemakers due to chances of dangerous interaction between cardiac devices and the radio frequency energy and magnetic field used during MRI. MRI is not performed on a person suffering from a stroke and also on the person who has a metallic plate in the body

So, the correct answer is 'Pregnant women'
