MRI radiation

Hi to all

Is there a safe limit to the number of MRI scans a person should have?
I am not sure that all that magnetic radiation does no harm or am I being paranoid

well  that's me the paranoid limbolander

Some people have raised questions about the safety of exposure to strong magnetic fields, too, unrelated to radiation such as we experience with x-rays & the like.  However, from all I've read, the overwhelming consensus is that MRIs are perfectly safe -- until you get the bill, at least.

Hi. Radiation is not used at all in MRI, so there's no danger.
