The objective was to calculate heating and torque, which results in vibration, by the time-varying magnetic field dBdt from the gradients in MRI to identify which passive implants will have the largest gradient interactions. A large hip stem and an acetabular hip shell were selected as worse case practical implants for gradient interactions. Maximum temperature rise under the intense dBdt inputs (42 T/s, 1750 Hz, 15 minutes exposure) of ISO/IEC 10974 is 5.4 $$$^{\circ}$$$C for the hip stem and 7.0 $$$^{\circ}$$$C for the acetabular shell. Gradient torque was about 4 times the gravity value for the acetabular shell.
