A member asked:

Tried mri and immediately felt heat on my face and head. had to stop machine. lasted for days. no contrast used. need one but afraid. can it burn you?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Metal: The know problem would be if you have any metal on you, teeths or implants as weel any peacemaker, that is not compatible with the mri as this is like a giant magnet. As far is known it cannot burn you as it uses electromagnetic fields and not radiation.
