Titanium markers

Hi. Has anyone travelled with titanium markers in. I wondered if they would set the body scanners off? I’ve got a letter that says “markers were deployed” that I could bring but doesn’t explain what they are. It gives full details of the cancer diagnosis though. Thanks if anyone has knowledge or experience about this.

Hi tiamaria
Me too… I’ve flown and I did ask the question to the airline but they said as the marker is the size of a grain of rice then it would not set off the scanner alarms. You should get off and thoroughly enjoy yourself :smiling_face_with_three_hearts:

I was told that one reason they use titanium is that it’s inert . I’ve been abroad by plane twice since having breast cancer and never had a problem xx

Another one here with markers and no pinging. Titanium doesn’t do that in the scanners.
