    There’s no danger for an mri unless you’ve had major surgery involving metal inplants. There’s no ionizing radiation so there should be no risks for the fetus.

    Cost and scarcity are big limiting factors for mri though. Mri machines are massive permanent installations that cost in the millions. They are already busy with people who need diagnostics of specific conditions. Putting every expectant mother in one would lead to absurd wait times. Whereas doctors offices can have multiple little ultrasound machines on carts that are easy to quickly acquire imagining as part of routine visits.















  • My wife worked for a company that was heavily reliant on generating leads from ads. They had lots of real time monitoring of conversion rates to make sure they were actually making more money than they were spending on the ads. They would have to turn ad channels off all the time because the return on ad spend went negative.

    So my conclusion is that ads can be somewhat effective for companies, but if they don’t actively monitor and control the performance of their ads, they’re probably just burning money. A lot of companies seem to advertise because they think that’s the only way to grow.
