Temperature changes of 200‐mm‐long metallic spinal rods during image acquisition sequences performed using 7 T field. There are no apparent differences between types of materials or between rods with and without cross‐linking. Temperature increases of metallic rods appear similar to those of gel phantom separated from rods (CTRL‐1) and those after rod removal (CTRL‐2), although temperature increase of rods during 3D‐FSE acquisition appear substantial compared to those of CTRL‐2. CTRL‐1 and CTRl‐2 indicate averaged values of the temperature changes with various materials.
