Whether or not you can do MRI with an intestinal anastomosis in your body depends on the material; titanium alloy and other materials can be used for MRI, while iron and other materials cannot be used for MRI.
Magnetic resonance examination, the body can not have steel, iron and other texture of the stent or anastomosis. These magnetic metal instruments can cause damage to the body and the examination equipment. However, with the gradual development of medical devices, some new materials such as titanium alloys, which have relatively low magnetic properties, can be used for magnetic resonance examinations.
It is advisable to consult the surgeon about the type of anastomosis used and whether MRI can be performed. If the type cannot be determined, it is recommended that MRI be avoided.
