I have qtrly MRI's of my full spine, C1-S5 due to another issue. What are your experiences on having a Telsa 3 MRI and getting a good reading of the spine in the L3-S5 area since the implant will be visible in those areas?

Not sure about the specifics, but I have had 2 MRI's since my implant without problems.

I suspect the image will be unaffected. An MRI provides a 3D image, so the implant should be easy to resolve from the other parts of the image.

That's the case, the implant doesn't change the anatomy and your Doc should not have any problems.
I had an MRI of my prostate and no issue with implant or pump.

I got an MRI of my implant, it is suprisingly clear in the imaging (i used it to diagnose my floppy glans).

Coloplast supplied a card. I showed the tech the card and they were like no problem, they just like to know.
