I thought this was an interesting article and wanted to pass along although I'm not sure if this the appropriate area to enter it on the forum.

I read something similar to this....   seems CT scans are the worst,  along with regular xrays (this doesn't include tooth xrays which are minimal) ...   We all need to keep these diagnostics to a minimum.
I was glad to read MRI's arent' 'radiation' related !!
Always good thoughts, Nancy
