I can't even remember how many MRI's I have gotten. I'm asked at least 5x if there is any metal on or in my body each scan.

Years ago I worked in metal shops and that is a big concern. Seems people with metal splinters in their eyes make a big mess in there sometimes.

I've had several MRI's as well. The place I went to ensures that you aren't bringing any metal anywhere near the MRI room. You're wearing nothing but your scivies & a hospital gown . Anything you wore or brought in with you is locked in a dressing room well out of the vicinity of the MRI room.

I had had a piece of rust removed from my eye 15 years prior, they insisted on checking my eye with some sort of scope before allowing me to proceed w/ the MRI.

I have several stainless steel staples in my chest from open heart surgery, and I later had several MRI’s no noticeable effect from the magnet though.
