Radiologist Questions Headaches

Are MRIs safe for infants?

My daughter is only 2-years-old and is going to get an MRI because she's been experiencing these strange headaches. While, of course, I want to know why these headaches are happening, I feel like an MRI at her age might not be safe--mainly because of the radiation. Do you think I have anything to worry about?

There is no radiation with MRI, and yes, it's safe.
