What experiences has anyone had with airports/MRI/CAT Scan?

Thanks

Been through several with nothing to report.

I have MRIs bi-yearly to track my MS progression. I always walk-in with the paperwork from Boston Scientific's website detailing MRI tolerance and temperature loading of the implant, although they aren't scanning anywhere near the area.

They're far more concerned with the cobalt-chromium hardware and lordotic rods in my lumbar spine although they're not ferrous at all..

Airport body scanners I don't worry or care about, even though every time I walk through there is a giant yellow circle over my groin.

rok

I've had airport travels, MRI's, CAT scans, and xrays and never had any trouble. The scans always show that the implant is there, but it is no problem.

yup.

Airport TSA --- no trouble
MRI scan --- no trouble (if there is any hesitation, there is a letter from AMS and a letter from coloplast which can be printed out and given to the MRI center)

CT -- scan no trouble

I set it off every time I walk through the body scanner.. On the other side they wave the wand at me and then I am good to go... They are probably thinking "there goes another one of those bionic dicks" lol
