    Irene- I have had several MRIs and I have had no problem. I'm often
    covered with metal shavings. I have some noticeable metal slivers
    permanently embedded in my hands. I also have a full body tattoo and
    that has been no problem at all. There had been some speculation that
    the metal oxides that give color to tattoo ink will be a problem in
    MRIs as well. The guys on Mythbusters busted that urban myth a while
    back. I'm no rocket scientist but I'm guessing that metals in your
    system would only be an issue if you're working with ferrous metals.
