No, not usually but they can. Usually just a section of the body gets scanned and it takes a while to do that. The scans are loud and there is not much room inside of one. They don't want you to move either, it is a little like taking a time lapse photo, you move it gets blurred and the techs tell you to hold still.

Especially if the metal is magnetic, in which case the MRI can literally tear the object out of your body. Additionally there are some signatures that an MRI can't pick up and require a CT scan.
