Can i have an mri if i have surgical staples?

Surgical staples are made of non-magnetic stainless steel, however, you never know how much trace amounts of magnetic material may remain. Every manufacturer has different standards. They'll ask you before the procedure if you have any metal at all within your body, so they'll tell you if it's okay or not. Another option is a CT scan which is just as effective when done with contrast dye. Since I have a lot of metal in me it interferes with an MRI, so I've had to get CT's done for the past10 years.
