Titanium will not react to the magnetic field generated by the MRI. However that isn't the reason they ask for body jewellery to be removed. Metals will reflect and in some cases shield magnetic fields, this shielding effect can cause false readings on MRI scans. That is the reason they ask that all jewellery be removed prior to receiving a scan. Besides that if you require an MRI for a medical condition it's best to let them get a good picture without the chances of a false reading.
You can not wear any metal due to the magentic qualities of the scan.
Implants and screws fabricated from titanium exhibit excellent compatibility with MRI and CT scanning. Scatter is minimal, and because titanium is non-ferrous, localized heating during MR is negligible.

Depends on what you are being tested on if your going in for a MRI then NO! because it is magnitized
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).
The M stands for magnetic. If you wear metal jewelry into the machine, it can rip it out. Ouch.
Yes as long as it has no metal in it. If it has any metal then no, as an MRI is like a giant magnet.
yes if there is titanium
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.
Yes, it is generally safe to have an MRI (Magnetic Resonance Imaging) if you have titanium dental implants. Titanium is a non-magnetic material that is commonly used for dental implants precisely because it is compatible with medical imaging techniques like MRI. Titanium is not affected by the magnetic field of an MRI machine, so it does not pose a risk of movement or displacement during the imaging process. However, it's always important to inform the MRI technician or radiologist about any implants or metal objects in your body before undergoing an MRI. They can provide specific instructions and ensure that appropriate precautions are taken to ensure your safety and the quality of the imaging. In some cases, the presence of dental implants may cause artifacts on the MRI images, which can make it slightly more challenging to interpret the results. However, modern MRI machines are equipped with advanced imaging techniques that can minimize or compensate for these artifacts, allowing for a clear visualization of the area of interest. It's worth noting that if you have any other metal implants or devices in your body, such as certain types of joint replacements or pacemakers, there may be additional considerations or precautions to take before undergoing an MRI. Therefore, it's crucial to provide a comprehensive list of any implants, devices, or metal objects to the medical staff prior to the MRI. In summary, having titanium dental implants should not prevent you from safely undergoing an MRI. However, it's important to inform the MRI technician about your dental implants and any other metal objects in your body to ensure appropriate safety measures are taken and to obtain the most accurate imaging results.
no, you wear a hospital gown.
Nothing metal. Other than the no-metal rule, each hospital will have its own MRI dress code. Sometimes you have to wear the gown, sometimes you can just wear shorts and a t-shirt.
A CT scan, yes. An MRI scan- maybe. It will depend on information from the manufacturer of the device you have implanted. Most are not affected by an MRI, but that is up to medical staff to determine.
Whether they have a new hip or not, you are putting a magnetic strip into an incredibly strong magnetic field. The MRI should be enough to wipe or corrupt the data in the strip.
