After placement of the gold implants, X-ray imaging is not a problem; the implants are visible as small white points. In most cases, the radiologists do not know what they are; therefore, you should tell them about it.
An MRI (Magnetic Resonance Imaging) can also be performed without any problems. In this case, the gold implants are not visible since gold is not magnetic. It also cannot heat up or fall out, which has been proven in numerous studies. If your radiologist has any doubts, s/he may call me any time; I can provide him/her with a bibliography.
If further procedures must be performed on the joint treated with Goldtherapie®, there are no obstacles since the implants are “hidden” well in the connective tissue and are not found in most cases. The only exception is that if the surgical incision cuts through a gold implant, the gold starts blinking and becomes visible. Make sure that it is handed to you, it is yours!
