What type of instruments can be used for surgical interventions within open MRI facilities?
All implants and instruments used in open MRI must also be made of non-ferromagnetic ‘MR-safe’ materials. 10.) Will the implants in my spine be detected at an airport security screening? Most routine airport screening does not detect implantable spinal implants. The sensitivity of the screening machine, quantity of spine implants, and your body mass are important variables that determine the routine detection. 11.) Do I need antibiotics for routine dental procedures in the future? No, but discussing this with your specific surgeon is advised. If you have additional questions, please contact Ruth Beckham, ANP.
