    Not the case at all, all modern medicinal implants are non-magnetic. For pacemakers the problem is the magnet can alter the pacemakers function or turn it off. Basically every single modern pacemaker is MRI compatible regardless, but they might have to put it in a special MRI mode before and return it to normal afterwards.
