MRI with jpouch staples?

Topics

I am scheduled for an MRI of my ankle this morning, and after telling the tech the other day that I have no metal in my body...I just remembered my jpouch staples.

Are the staples going to be a problem?

I had an MRI and they said the surgical staples were OK. They did not cause any problems. I would recommend you mention your staples to the tech before they get started. Good luck with your ankle.

surgical staples are composed of either stainless steel or titanium, both of which are not magnetic.
