Question:

I have to have a MRI of my brain and have a dental titanium implant will this be a problem?


Answers:

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.
