It might be a problem with an iron or steel stent. Ask the doc.

It depends on the stent. What did you have stented? What is it made of? If it is made of metal you would not be allowed int an MRI scanner, the magnetic fields may cause it to move in your body, causing injury. In addition the magnetic field may cause any internal metalwork to heat up, causing burns. Are you due for an MRI scan? You will always be asked before entering the scanner if you have a stent, it is one of the stock questions. If you are concerned, ring the MRI dept of the hospital and ask one of the radiograpers, they will advise you.

You CAN have an MRI scan as most stents are not made of metal. The stents are usually made of polyethylene do they remain flexible.

They'll probably ask you to take your clothes off and change into a hospital gown. So... it doesn't really matter what you wear. Just be sure to follow mom's advice and wear clean underwear - you never know :p
