does the x ray still work because its a type of metal that is compatible? or do they just have to do a different procedure instead of an xray?

In: Biology
An x-ray will not effect the metal. It will cause an artifact (glow) around the metal causing that area to be obscured but it will do no harm. Conversely MRIs are a giant magnet and will cause metal to vibrate and thereby heat up. It may loosen it or tear small pieces out depending on strength and time of exposure.
