Serum malondialdehyde (MDA) levels were estimated in 70 patients, 44 males and 26 females,
16-70 years of age underwent MRI examination for various reasons.
There was an overall increase in serum MDA level following MRI examination with overall
mean difference between pre- and post- MRI examination MDA level of 0.066 ±0.110 Mmole /l
(P=65 were
