Basically you naked. MRI will show tissue in the penis but I highly doubt ( I am sure ) the resolution is not fine enough to actually show the PMMA. However the excess tissue would show. But none the less Dark , it would be interesting to hear for sure! BTW I hope you are doing well!

It is unlikely to be in an x-ray. I doubt PMMA will show up in an x- ray. It is a bunch if scattered glass pellets that are too tiny to see. The glass won't show up. I doubt the collagen will be so dense, so it won't show up either.

They show an X on the area where there is an anomaly. It is possible that it would trigger, but I really doubt it. However, if you want a laugh...

If someone goes for an MRI or Xray, I would assume that the PMMA would stick out like a sore thumb. Does anyone know obvious this is during one of these procedures? I have no reason to have either of these, but just curious if you would need to be prepared to explain should the need arise.
