If there is metal in the bone growth stimulator, absolutely not! The MRI has a giant magnet in side it. That is why the signs are posted all around the exam room to keep metals away from the area. New maintenance guy left a pipe-wrench lying on the table while he was doing something else. He left the room without it. The MRI was started up for a patient, the pipe-wrench came flying up off the table and slammed into the instrument and busted the outer layer of the entrance(where the patient lies for MRI), Now you tell me would you want to slam up against the top of the instrument?

How does the SpinaLogic bone growth stimulator work?
It sends electromagnectic pulses into your body, which promotes the growth of bone grafts. Bone grafts are tiny pieces of bone, sometimes from a cadaver, sometimes taken from other parts of your body like your hip. The bone grafts are placed between vertebra and eventually grow to fuse the vertebrae together. This operation is called a spinal fusion. The bone growth stimulator must have been proven to work because my insurance not only approved the use of it, but paid for 100% of it when I had my spinal fusion. I also assume from their approval, that it must save them money in some way, such as less doctor visits if it makes the bone grafts grow faster than without it.
