I soon expect to have screws implanted in my spine. I also have other infirmities. I hope like hell to never have screws ripped through my vertebrae by an MRI.
I think, as someone else said, things installed into the body are usually titanium and thus non ferrous. Fortunately they don’t generally cause issues with MRIs as a result.
(I only know this because when I broke my ankle, during the pre-surgery interview, I asked the surgeon about going through metal scanners at an airport.)

Implants are non-magnetic. Wrecks the image, though.
Hopefully they don’t need to do an MRI of my spine after they operate on it - apparently for their sake, not mine.
I hope you’ll recover quick and get rid of your health problems!
Thanks!
Ugh, yeah, how do they even do MRIs for people with metal parts?

Non ferrous metal.
