Can you get metal implants which are safe for MRIs?
- tormeh 9y agoAnything that's not affected by magnets, I suppose. Titanium should do it.

- namelost 9y agoAlso it's pretty easy to detect if someone has a large piece of ferromagnetic metal inside them or not.
- matwood 9y agoI believe most surgical steel is fine. I have a permanent retainer in my mouth and have no issues getting an MRI. The only problems would be if I need an MRI of my head, the metal could cause distortions in the image. With that said, tell your doctor and more importantly tell the MRI tech about all possible metal in your body.
