Can An MRI Be Conducted With Titanium Implants In The Feet?

Hi, my mother needs to practice a Magnetic resonance imaging in her right foot, but there is an issue with the implants that were used in a surgery practiced in that foot a year and a half ago. Some of them are in stainless steel and some in titanium. Is there any problem or possible complication for this procedure? Thanks.

Hi,
Thanks for your question.
Noted your concern.

MRI work on magnetic field.
Usually after 1 year of surgery implants do not interfere with MRI.
Better to follow her doctor.
