Harrington rods and MRI

I'm supposed to get an MRI done, I was always told with Harrington rods it's not compatible.
They said they could do it with a T 1.5 machine, I still don't feel safe doing so, what do I do?

Hello @poohbear3482, you discussion was combined with an existing discussion titled:

"Harrington rods and MRI"
- https://connect.mayoclinic.org/discussion/harrington-rods-and-mri/

@gssalds started this discussion inquiring about a similar experience as yours and @nlback22 and @jolelaine62 shared their experiences as well.

@poohbear3482 - were they able to explain why they feel their machine would be safe to help alleviate some of your concerns? @nlback22 talked about their experience with a machine that had a lower magnet such as your provider's are suggesting.
