I have metal in my body from a surgical procedure. Is it safe for me to have and MRI scan?
There are a few surgical implants that are not safe to scan. Patients with pacemakers should never be scanned. Some aneurysm clips and other surgical implants are not MRI safe. Most surgical clips and orthopedic implants are safe. Before you are scanned a technologist will complete a thorough screening questionnaire to ensure the MRI examination is safe to undergo.
