If you want another reason to fret, look up the intensity of the RF
and magnetic fields in an MRI machine.
http://www.aapm.org/meetings/02AM/pdf/8356-48054.pdf

The RF power absorption can be up to 10W/Kg, enough to cause
noticeable heating and considerably above the limit for cell phones.
Plus the magnetic field is strong enough to bend a knife. I ran an NMR
in a chem lab one summer and like everyone else had to see how strong
14,000 Gauss really was.
