Is it safe to get an mri of ankle when i have a ivc filter in?

Yes, but do let your: Mri guys know about it. I don't think there is any danger with the ivc filters at all. If you have any major concerns, get your pcp (or who ever is advising the test) to ask the radiologist about it before you have the mri. Good luck.

Probably: If radiologist team is ready to do then it is safe.
