Medical Exam - Alternative to X-Ray for Pregnant Woman

[cathico]

Hello! Can anyone confirm if a Chest Ultrasonography and/or Chest MRI (Magnetic Resonance Imaging) are acceptable alternatives (non-radiation approach) to a Chest X-Ray for pregnant applicant as part of the CIC immigration Medical exam? This is so not to delay the processing period.

It needs to be an x-ray.

It needs to be an x-ray.

Thank you, though I'm surprised with this response, since MRI produces superior imaging (hence costs more) than old-school X-Ray imaging.

Ultrasound, MRI and xray are not the same. Each has its own specialty and chest xray is not replaceable with any of these 2.
