No problem!

"Most orthopedic and dental implants are not magnetic. These include hip and knee replacements; plates, screws, and rods used to treat fractures; and cavity fillings. All of these metal implants can distort the MRI image if near the part of the body being scanned, but they will usually not cause problems. Even if you think the metal implant is compatible with the MRI machine, you must let the MRI personnel know in order to ensure this metal is compatible."

“People always ask, ‘What about going through metal detectors in airports?’ Well, it doesn’t set them off,” Gradwell says of the titanium appliance. He adds that patients also need not worry about the metal disqualifying them from magnetic resonance imaging, or MRI testing.

no but anything else that you may have before you go into an mri that you think that may be magnetic you should let the technician know. the MRI is 10 times the force of earth's gravity. if you wheld metal for example you may not be eligible MRI because of the chance of small specks of metal may be in your eyes. don't worry the technician will ask you the proper questions and precautions before your MRI just answer them honestly.

No. Titanium is non-magnetic, so no problem. It should show up in the pictures.
