Medical info card?
My mom is bugging me to get a Medical info card. She says it's in case I need an MRI that the metal from the ADR can get all screwed up. Anyone heard of this?

I have heard that the metal causes a glare on the MRI but not that any harm can actually come to the ADR.
Anybody???? |
it's called an artifact
i have titanium and even though it's an mri safe material because it's not a true metal, it can still cause some dark shadows called artifacts. you will want to keep the mri at 1.5 tesla. anything stronger will make this worse. the only reason to carry a medical id card would be if the metal was true magnetic metal because an mri would rip it right out. my titanium plate, screws, and stand alone peek cage are all safe for mris. if not you they could do ct scans.
