Getting MRI done when metal rod is there

2021-12-14 14:32:05
I got metal rod implanted in my right thigh some 13 years back. Now, for some swelling I need to get MRI of my left thigh. Is it okay to get this MRI done? As I am afraid of some problem happening to rod during MRI.

If the implant is made of titanium if you're not be a problem.Implant made of other materials usually create distorted MRI images please check out with your local radiologist.
