Oh no. ~~A CT scanner is a giant rotating electromagnet~~. An MRI is a giant quantum electromagnetic tube. It’s so, so much worse. It is literally unpredictable as to what might happen with metal inside of it. She’s lucky she wasn’t literally torn to shreds.

A CT scanner is a rotating X-ray device. No rotating magnets here!

Ah thanks for the clarification! And you are right about torn to shreds. I recommend people go watch those videos that show what happens with metal in MRI machines.

We're lucky she didn't merge with the gun into a super soldier!
