Is It Fine To Have An MRI Scan With A Stent In The Breast?

Several years ago I had some sort of device inserted into my breast in order for it to mark a spot that was thought to be cancer, but wasn’t. Unrelated, I will need to have an MRI performed and I am concerned about this marker, stent, or whatever it was placed in my breast. Are my concerns valid? Is this marker a routine procedure?
