I recently had a CT scan because of some abdominal pain I've been experiencing, and I noticed that I was shivering during the contrast. Is this something that's considered normal? Also, I've been taking a 10mg Tryptomer tablet once a day. Could it be related to this? Any insights would be really appreciated.

I'm wondering if it's safe for my 16-year-old daughter to get a chest x-ray. I know she's been advised to have one, but I'm concerned about how appropriate it is for her age. Should we be worried about any risks or try to avoid the x-ray altogether?

if compulsory then you can take

I'm trying to figure out the differences between a CT chest scan and an MRI chest scan. What are they each used for, and which one is supposed to be more accurate? I'm a bit anxious about the whole thing and would love some clarity on what each one might be best suited for.

CT for soft tissues , MRI is more for nerve related conditions

I'm a bit confused about my x-ray reports. The first time I got it done, the results seemed off, but when I had another one the next day, everything looked fine. I'm just trying to understand if it's common to get different x-ray results like that, and if there's a chance something could have gone wrong the first time. Is this something I should worry about?
