from the experts:
The strength of the magnetic field and the frequency of the radio waves have no known harmful effects. However there are some patients who cannot have an MRI test due to certain medical conditions such as pregnancy and metallic or electronically implanted devices. Not all metallic implanted are contraindicated for MRI. Consult your doctor or MRI Technologist for clarification.

my friend has epilepsy. She had to get MRIs and EEGs done. She came out fine. The image is obtained by sound waves, not radiation waves so you should be just fine.

Completely safe and painless. The imaging is obtained by sound waves, it's noisy, but harmless and painless. Take care, hope you're well.
