People who have cochlear implants are not allowed to get MRIs without having the implant first removed, then reimplanted afterward, even though in this case, it's a major surgery. I've always heard that this is because of the magnet in the internal part of the implant (which is how the external and internal parts connect)--not that it would explode, but that the MRI machine might cause internal burns to the person's skin. I don't know if cost would be prohibitive, but it would be interesting to see them test this with a cochlear implant and see if that would really happen.
