Actually, unless you have steel shrapnel inside you, the bigger worry in an MRI scan should not be the magnet whcih is near constant with a small sweep coil adding and subtracting some milliTeslas from it, but the significant fraction of a kW of RF they use to get the nuclear magnets all jiggling together. There is a reason they like the room to be cool.
Any way, there is no real need to worry - and it sounds like you (both actually) are in good hands.
