• Risk assessment of copper-containing IUDs with regard to heating, dislocation, and artifacts during MR and CT imaging. • Neither significant heating nor dislocation was determined in MR; image quality was more impaired for CT than for MR imaging and needs careful consideration during diagnosis. • The tested IUDs pose no additional risks for implant users during MR and CT examinations.
