Can An MRI Be Done Without A Contrast Dye?

MY Orthopedist recommended an MRI for my cervical and Lumbosacrial spine after I was hit on a pedestrian crosswalk. He did not specify as to whether this is a contrast MRI. I am very sensitive to all meds and do not wish gadolinium to be introduced into my body. I have not yet contact my MD as this just came up this evening. Is it possible to have a successful MRI without the contrast dye? Also, the imaging center did not seem concerned that I have titanium screws in my jaw and I am having cervical problems. Thank you
