Are there any risks associated with these imaging tests?
Most diagnostic imaging tests used in gynecology are safe, but there are some risks. Ultrasound and MRI are generally safe with no known harmful effects. CT scans involve exposure to ionizing radiation, which carries a small risk, especially with repeated exposures. HSG involves the use of contrast dye, which can cause allergic reactions in some patients. It is essential to discuss all potential risks with your healthcare provider.
