Terri If you had a whole body CT scan, it may be too much radiation, but having an MRI does not magnetic scramble the cells. All you are doing is aligning the hydrogen molecules in the body and then tipping their magnetic alignment with radio waves. No harm at all, nothing worse than listening to your radio. The only damage would be if you were in a very high field system and had ultra strong RF pulses directed for a long time. That has shown some short term nerve stimulation.
