There are plenty of problems with MRI, but ionising radiation is not one of them. A quick brain protocol (Siemens market “Go brain”) takes 5 minutes and gives very good image quality. Setting up the patient and removing them from the scanner takes longer.

A standard brain protocol of about 20 minutes is better, but the 5 minute protocol is good enough.
