MRI with stitches ok?

I have stitches in my back and am scheduled to have an MRI done Wed. Is it safe to have an MRI with stitches? I wouldn't see why not, just making sure. Thanks.

Answer:
Yes, it is safe. The MRI techs will ask you questions about anything implanted in your body-pacemakers, defibrillators, etc., so be sure to inform them of anything you've had implanted in your body and of any prior surgeries you’ve had. The reason there’s concern with MRI's is that the scanner is a powerful magnet and obviously nobody wants to put a patient in the scanner if there’s a contraindication. Let them know that you’ve the stitches in your back and why they are there. If it's just stitches, you’ll be fine.

Answer:
It should be okay, you just don't want to get an mri if you have anything magnetic in you, because that's what the mri machine uses is magnets

Answer:
Stiches, yes. Staples, no.

Make sure the tech knows about the healing wound on your back so s/he can make you comfortable.
