Is there any problem getting a CT scan if you have an implant?

[lenders]

I am wondering about this just in case. Anyone knows?

No, not for the implant and if the radiologist knows about the implant, he can adjust his machine, so there will be a no problem to diagnose any disease.

I've had both a PET scan and an MRI.(Non Contrast)

No issues.

No problem at all with CtScan.

MRI is another issue though. A penile implant SHOULDN’T be a problem with MRI but it’s important to make sure the radiologist and technicians know about ANY implants in the body, including a penile implant.

THEY will investigate and determine if it is safe or unsafe.

Can someone explain to me why it would be an issue?,

I'm just curious

"While generally safe, penile implants can pose potential issues during MRI scans due to the magnetic and radiofrequency fields involved. While most modern implants are made of biocompatible materials and are considered "MRI conditional," meaning they can be scanned under specific conditions, some older or specific models might have limitations or risks."
