It is generally safe to have an MRI with a Huber needle inserted in a port-a-cath, as long as the port and needle are MRI-safe. Most modern ports are made from materials that are compatible with MRI scans. However, it's crucial to inform the MRI technician about the port and needle beforehand, as they will need to ensure that the specific settings and protocols are appropriate for your situation. Always consult your healthcare provider for personalized advice before proceeding with an MRI.
