Can someone with a VP Shunt get an MRI?

I have been told no, bu then I read that it is possible if you have a nurse practitioner or a neurosurgeon on hand to reset the shunt settings. Does anyone know what is the truth about this? I have a herniated disc in my neck and can only get a catscan I was told, not an MRI.

Thanks in advance.
