A little metal wont kill you. It will ruin the image.

Metal will ruin a CT scan. Metal will kill you in an MRI machine.

Can I have an MRI if I have metal in my body?

Metallic orthopedic implants are generally not affected by MRI, but if you have metal in your body learn more information about implant compatibility.

In general, metallic orthopedic implants are not affected by MRI. 

This isn’t an implant though. Massive difference.

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.

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!
