A member asked:
Rods in legs in 83 can i have an mri?
2 doctors weighed in across 2 answers
Most likely not: The fact that you are asking the question means you know that the metal (likely titanium) is a problem in the strong magnetic field.

Yes: Although if you are scanning an area near the rods, there will be a lot of artifact.
