Geez, that is horrible. Then perhaps even a partial scan would be pretty bad?

They are talking about CT scans, not MRI. MRI involves no radiation at all... just stretching out inside a large magnet, with radio frequency signals being beamed at you. Totally safe, except when one suffers from claustrophobia... or, if one is sensitive to injections of a contrast, which are used sometimes.

MRI has no radiation whatsoever. The article says so clearly. You are confusing X-ray scans with magnetic resonance.

Z628,

Your reading comprehension needs improvement.
Note: "The scans (i.e. CTs) are not the same as magnetic resonance imaging or MRI scans, which do not expose the body to radiation."

Haps.
