Don't worry

An echocardiogram (sonogram for the heart) and a CT (special X-ray for calcium score) are both safe for us. We should not have an MRI since that test uses magnetic imaging.

Just ask your Doctor when you are not sure. He should be willing to explain it to you.

Of course you can always ask here for others experiences.

You'll be fine.

Xrays and ultrasounds are fine. Just no mri.
