Kittycat Posted September 24, 2008 Report Share Posted September 24, 2008 Hi Everyone, 1jmk (Janet) brought an interesting article to my attention last night about metal in the band causing issues with an MRI. I spoke with my clinic today, I do have an Allergan band and it's titanium that connects the band and it will not affect MRI or metal detectors.

OICU812 Posted September 24, 2008 Report Share Posted September 24, 2008 I've got 6 screws in my knee, 2 in my jaw, and 4 screws and a plate in my neck. Surgical steel is non magnetic, so it's probably not too much to worry about. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HopefulFuture Posted September 24, 2008 Report Share Posted September 24, 2008 So does the other band used have any metal in it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kittycat Posted September 24, 2008 Author Report Share Posted September 24, 2008 Like the other ladies noted, if it's not titanium, it will be surgical steel which will not be detected by metal detectors or corode. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
