There is no radiation associated with MRI. However it does use a powerful magnetic field and cannot be used on people with implanted devices and metallic plates or screws. Please feel free to contact me for more details

MRI doesn't have any kind of radiation. Compared to CT MRI is safe. CT scan once or twice is not harmful. Medical professionals works in radiation enviornment all the time. Life time risk of any complications from CT scan is very low with limited use. MRI is totally safe from radiation point of view.
