The Aspen CTO (Cervico-Thoracic Orthosis) brace is typically constructed from plastic and foam materials, which are generally MRI safe. However, certain models or configurations of the Aspen CTO may include metal components, such as screws or fasteners, that could interfere with MRI scans. It is essential to consult your healthcare provider or refer to the Aspen CTO manufacturer’s guidelines to verify whether your specific brace is MRI compatible before undergoing an MRI scan. Always follow professional advice to ensure your safety during imaging procedures.
