What happens to my jewelry and electronics?
Before your exam you are given a locker for your jewelry and electronics.
You may not bring anything electronic or metal near the MRI machine.
This includes cell phones, MP3 players, keys, credit cards, jewelry, and much more.
If any of these are brought near the MRI machine they may be permanently damaged.
What if I have a pacemaker?
Unfortunately if you have a pacemaker you cannot have an MRI scan.
What if I have metal in my body?
If you have metal which cannot be removed, please inform a receptionist
before the date of your scan. Typically things such as braces and surgical
staples do not affect the scan, but other things such as metal shrapnal may
cause a problem.
What if I am pregnant?
While MRI poses no known health risks, as a precautionary measure
it is recommended that you wait until after the pregnancy.
