Hi. I had screws, a staple and a pin put in my foot just over a year ago in the UK and I am due to have a back MRI. Does anyone know if it is OK to have an MRI when you have surgical metal in you?

probably if the metalwork is non-magnetic..
As Derek says - you must make sure the department knows and you can call them to ask, don't wait until the day you are booked or you may turn up and be sent home while they investigate.

You will be asked to fill in a form about implants etc before the scan so don't worry.
