The process is called 'Magnetic Resonance Imaging' - we know it as an MRI scan.

Yes, a plate in your skull can heat up during an MRI due to the magnetic fields and radiofrequency energy used in the procedure. However, most modern implants are made from materials that are MRI-compatible and designed to minimize heating. It's essential to inform your healthcare provider about any implants you have before undergoing an MRI to ensure safety. Always follow their recommendations regarding the procedure.
