Most likely: Surgical hardware seated in bone that has been in place for more than 6 weeks is safe. Hardware can cause image degradation if it is near the region being imaged to learn more about MRI preparation and safety, please check out: http://www.Conciergeradiologist.Com/mri-safety.Html you can learn more about the MRI procedure itself here: http://www.Conciergeradiologist.Com/mri-procedure.Html.
