I went in to get an mri scan on my spine and i was scared.the lady had me try it for about 40 second before i had them take me out. now i remember i had surgical staples for a cut on my scalp years ago. i never had them taken out should i be worried?

Go to your doctor: As far as your MRI is concerned, it's probably fine. The concerns with MRI are certain metals that can be moved due to the magnetic force. Many metals used into the medical field aren't made of those types of metal. I'm more concerned w/possibility of surgical staples being in place for a year. Maybe they used suture which your body absorbed. I recommend you see your doctor to get this sorted out
