Ugh, yeah, how do they even do MRIs for people with metal parts?

    I think, as someone else said, things installed into the body are usually titanium and thus non ferrous. Fortunately they don't generally cause issues with MRIs as a result.

    (I only know this because when I broke my ankle, during the pre-surgery interview, I asked the surgeon about going through metal scanners at an airport.)
