Was just thinking...
If someone goes for an MRI or Xray, I would assume that the PMMA would stick out like a sore thumb. Does anyone know obvious this is during one of these procedures? I have no reason to have either of these, but just curious if you would need to be prepared to explain should the need arise.

I had a catscan and the PMMA was not detectable.

For those who want to know, I did MRI [MRI without a medium] and Ultrasound after PGLA scaffolds implantation. The scaffolds appear in the ultrasound very clearly, but not at all in the MRI.

The scanners only show surface features. Basically you naked. MRI will show tissue in the penis but I highly doubt ( I am sure ) the resolution is not fine enough to actually show the PMMA. However the excess tissue would show. But none the less Dark , it would be interesting to hear for sure! BTW I hope you are doing well!

I think it shows up on a MRI

For people familiar with my case, they know I\'ve been dealing with chest pain and AFIB a few months after getting PMMA ... my doctor and I are going to get a MRI in the next few weeks to see if we can see the PMMA ... I\'ll let you know.

I\'m pretty sure airport scanners can\'t pick up anything inside your body, just points out areas on your body where theres objects.

@ wingman
The new scanners that I have gone through aren\'t as \"intimate\" as the previous versions. They show an X on the area where there is an anomaly. It is possible that it would trigger, but I really doubt it.

However, if you want a laugh...

Thinking about this, will it show up on an airport scanner? That would be very hard to explain to TSA. Has anyone had any problems with that?

They usually put a lead blanket over your pelvis to protect your testicles from x-rays. It is unlikely to be in an x-ray. I doubt PMMA will show up in an x- ray. It is a bunch if scattered glass pellets that are too tiny to see. The glass won\'t show up. I doubt the collagen will be so dense, so it won\'t show up either.

I normally have to go for a pelvis xray. I am worried if I got PMMA it would show up? Anyways I only want to gain like 0.5 inches so not much
