    Isn’t that just because they use non-magnetic metals for implants?

    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.

      What are implants made of? Stainless for the most part.

  But that’s zinc shot… It doesn’t even look like steel. It shouldn’t be attracted to a magnet.
