How can getting an mri on your head affect you being a 20 year old female? i heard it affects you later in life, but how? what happens?

Family practice : It shouldn't affect you at all now or later in life you are not exposed to radiation as you would with a ct.

Nothing : A brain MRI without contrast should not affect you at all. Rarely patients can be allergic to the contrast.
