MRI Safety with Implants
The cluster focuses on discussions about the safety of MRI scans for people with metal implants or objects, distinguishing MRI's magnetic fields from radiation risks in CT/X-ray scans, and addressing common misconceptions about MRI hazards.

Let's hope the author doesn't ever go into an MRI... could be ugly!
There is no mentioning of exposure during MRIs. Is there none? I would have thought, CTs as well as MRIs are a problem because of exposure.
It's MRI not CT. No radiation, just a ludicrously powerful magnetic field.
Is this likely to be less risk than xray or nmr mri for comparable imaging quality?
You might be thinking of CT scans? MRI scans should be harmless.
CT scans irradiate you, MRIs don't really. Just don't have any metal in you.
An exploratory MRI has inherit risk (even if minuscule) to your life, and thus their livelyhood. A very big difference from asking for an x-ray of a cable.
You'd be wrong. Source: diagnostic imaging design engineer (CT, not MR, but the hazards are similar).
