If I need mri of shoulder and have plate in wrist and leg stents can I have MRI?
You can probably have an MRI but the doctors will want to check out a few things before they do it. Stents are normally made from non-feromagnetic metals and so should be fine they will be able to check what type of stent you have in your medical records but my choose to confirm this with further testing. Metal plates that have been in place longer than 6 weeks and have become fused to the bone are fine also. They will probably want to confirm that the plate is well fused so it will not move once you are inside the magnet of the MRI scanner perhaps using a standard x-ray.
Stress-Free MRI?
One of the main complaints made by patients needing an MRI is the claustrophobia that comes with a traditional closed MRI. Many patients avoid MRI testing, or experience high levels of anxiety during the process. An open MRI provides accurate high-quality diagnostic imaging, in a comfortable setting. Patients undergoing testing using an open MRI can be assured that they are receiving the most advanced diagnostic technology, without the stress of feeling confined.
