Magnetic resonance imaging, also known as magnetic resonance imaging, is a common examination nowadays. However, compared to traditional methods such as X-rays, this examination is still quite new. Many people are not very familiar with magnetic resonance imaging and do not know what effects it will have on the body, especially some pregnant women who undergo magnetic resonance imaging without knowing it. So, are there any effects of magnetic resonance during pregnancy?
Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) is the main principle of this examination, which is magnetic field imaging. From this perspective, MRI is not radioactive, but rather uses a strong magnetic field to exert a certain effect on the body's tissues, which can determine whether there is a disease. Compared with X-ray examinations, MRI does not emit radiation, so performing MRI after pregnancy generally has no effect.
But if a CT scan is done after pregnancy, there is radiation involved, which must be taken into account. Although the radiation of CT and other examinations is relatively low, caution should still be exercised when it comes to pregnancy, and these examinations should be avoided as much as possible. Of course, attention should also be paid to the environment, especially for pregnant women, to prevent radiation exposure.
Considering the use of magnetic resonance imaging after pregnancy, it is likely that the pregnancy is not yet known, indicating that the duration of pregnancy is short. At this time, it is important to supplement with folic acid. This folic acid can prevent fetal neural tube defects and should generally be taken during the preconception period. But now that I am pregnant, I can still take it.
