According to my neurosurgeon, "Yes, you can have an MRI with titanium in your spine." I asked this very question as I will be having disc replacement with titanium in my cervical spine (with plastic screws, I believe).

∙ 10y agoIt is written that people have had MRI's done safely with titanium rods and screws in their legs. Titanium rods and screws are used to keep enable a body to be used after an accident or illness. MRI's are used to get a look at the inside of the body without removing the skin.

Can you have a MRI with harrington rods in lumbar spine?
Yes you can have an MRI with Harrinton rod in your lumbar spine. Harrington rods are made of titanium making it safe to enter an MRI Scanner.
If femur is implanted with rod then can we go through the MRI scan for disc problem?
Almost certainly. Most orthopaedic metalwork is compatible with MRI scanners and large items such as a rod in the femur don't pose a particular problem as they are fixed in place and won't move. It would be wise to check with the MRI staff and/or the orthopaedic surgeons, however.
Broke your femur and they inserted a rod but placed 2 screws in your knee to keep in place?
The rod is inside or alongside your femur, but the screws are in the knee end of the femur, not the knee itself.
How does the Double Crescent Shower Rod attach to the wall?
The shower rod attaches with screws and tension as according to the directions.
What is the connecting rod made out of?
Usually forged steel. On racing engines sometimes titanium or other alloy.

How long does the metal rod stay in your leg for after breaking your femur?
Steel rod can be stay inside your femur till end of your life unless you face any accident repeatedly, because I have rod in my leg after breaking of femur since 17 years and I don't feel any incomfortability.
How can you get curtain rods to stay in place if there is no hole in the bracket to secure the rod into the bracket?
You can insert two screws or nails in the back of the rod for each bracket to prevent the latter from moving left or right. the space between the screws should be the same as the width of the bracket.
if someone has a metal rod in their leg but is not disabled, can they be considered in joining the armed services?
yes
What are the characteristics of titanium?
Answer Titanium is a great alternative for structural material in terms of weight and strength. Titanium is lighter than Steel and much stronger than Aluminum. It has a low heat transfer rate, which makes it useful for high-heat applications. The one major draw-back with titanium is that it retains heat during maching of part during manufacture due to its low heat transfer rate. Titanium has to be machined at 1/5 the rate of steel, even with plenty of coolant applied to the cutting tool. This is one reason a Titanium part is more expensive; if it takes 5 times longer to machine a part, it will be 5 times more costly. The other reason is that Russia has a monopoly on the titanuium resources. Someone asked me which part would be lighter if made for the same load: Steel, Titanium or ALuminum. I analyzed a simple rod under an axial load and determined the minium size of the optimized rod then calculated its weight. The Titanium rod came out 1/3 lighter than the Steel rod. For bending or other load applications, this ratio will vary. The strength ratio can easily be found by ratioing the Young's Moduls and the unit weight. Fatigue-- A few years ago, Titanium did not have very good fatigue properties. The standard titanium alloy was Titanium 6Al-4V. The fatigue S/N curve of this alloy is very steep; it does not flatten out at the higher cycles as Steel S/N curves will do. However, new alloys have been developed that have much better fatigue properties.
How do you replace ignition switch on 1969 Chevelle?
The switch is located on top of the steering column. It's rod actuated. Remove the negative battery cable. Remove the screws that mount the column to the firewall and the two bolts that hold it up to the dashboard. Two screws mount it to the column. Remember, it's rod actuated, so you'll need to make sure the rod is properly mated with the new switch, and make sure it's properly adjusted. The mounting screws are also the adjustment screws because the mounting holes are elongated to allow for adjustment.
Can you join the us police force with a metal rod and two screws in your leg?
In most police agencies, the question wouldn't be whether you had metal parts in your leg as much as whether you could perform the physical tests required of police officer candidates. These usually include running a distance in a minimum time, climbing over a six-foot wall, and other tasks demonstrating agility, coordination and strength.
