When I have ordered MRI scans I have always had to ask whether patients have used metal grinding machinery and could have metal particles around their eyes. I think the radiology department did standard xrays of the head to check for any shards (which would show up nice and bright on xray) before doing an MRI scan.
Particles of the size described would be unlikely to feel enough force to cause damage in even a strong magnetic field. I don't think this would be a problem, but I don't have the physics to do the maths myself.
