If any screws were used those would need to be known if magnetic or not.
Best idea is to inform any dr or tech of the plate etc and let them make the call.

I 2nd Jo Mar's advice. The facility will be able to determine if you can have an MRI. They will ask you specific questions about the type of implants you may have in your body, the location(s) as well ask about metal shavings, etc. I have several pins, several screws and a rod in various parts of my body and can have MRIs. All of my stuff is titanium. I'm about to add some more screws and plate this time . . .
