I don't think you can if you ARE Pregnant. I know I went with my mom when she got one and I only THOUGHT I was pg at the time and the tech would not let me go in with her. TTC you should be fine though as long as you know you're not pg.

Nope, you can't. My friend is a radiologist at the hospital that I work in and they actually had to detail her to another work area while she was pregnant, they advise not to even be in the same room when a MRI, X-ray,etc is being performed.

Re: Can you have a MRI if you are pregnant or trying?

NOOO!! Everytime I go for an MRI or xray they ask me about 17 times if there's ANY chance I might POSSIBLY be pregnant,a nd there are signs posted everywhere. Apparently it's very dangerous
