No any metal is not allowed it is a massive magnet(MRI) and they will just rip out go straight for it people have been killed by machines left in the room whilst scanning.Awful It's true that magnetic metals will experience very strong forces, thus potentially "rip out", causing injury. However, non-magnetic metals can be present in the body for MRI scans, however they can cause distortions in the images. In addition, all metals will tend to resist motion in a magnetic field. This means that there will be slight forces on metals when moving into and out of the scanner (or any motion during the scan). The slower the motion, the smaller the forces.

So as to whether surgical staples can be present primarily depends on whether the staples are magnetic. Titanium, absorbable, and nickel alloy stainless steel staples are non-magnetic.

Whether an MRI scan should be done is a different question: Risks are higher when metals are present and the distortions in the image caused by metals may reduce the usefulness of the scan. You should discuss these factors with your surgeon and radiologist, then assess the risks.
