If doctor does not advice me to go for a CT scan or a MRI, then would it be safe to go for it for my own satisfaction?

I almost died with a cat scan because they needed to due the dye and it is an iodine base and i am allergic to iodine so i have to take prednisone starting 13 hours before the test and then i have to take Benadryl. My doctor told me that ct scan and MRI are just like regular exrays but much more harmful. They say that with the dye it gives a true reading of all the little things in the body

Both CT scan and MRI are safe and does not cause health problems. Only too much exposure to x-rays of Ct scan can be problem but usually it is not. The MRI use Magnetic field and harmless. Your doctor is not referring for Ct or MRI because you do not need it.
