MRI isn't ionizing radiation, so much lower risk profile there. You may be thinking of CT scans?

  The idea that only ionizing radiations induce damage has to stop bruh https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/35237875/ https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/35237875/ I mean it's much safer but still a concern.

    That has nothing to do with NAC. NAC supposedly helps protect against possible kidney damage caused by the contrast agent, nothing to do with radiation, ionizing or otherwise. Doesn't seem to be a clear indication that it actually helps for that, but it's used for quite a lot of other things, like treating paracetamol overdose.

      > nothing to do with radiation, ionizing or otherwise. bruh radiations induce oxidative stress and free radicals which is the major cause of damage, which the antioxidant GSH (NAC) prevents/reduce
