A member asked:

Father had titanium hip replacement last year, now may require imaging of shoulder bone, which has lump on it. would mri be allowed given titanium hip?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

MRI COMPATIBLE: Titanium implants are MRI compatible. People with nontitanium implants should inform the radiologist or technician prior to the procedure; however, most joint implants are firmly attached inside bone and will not pose a serious problem. People with internal metallic surgical staples from healed surgeries should also inform the radiologist or technician prior to the procedure.
