Yes, cataracts are made of acrylic and will not affect the MRI scan in any way.
I am having sever pain in my neck and the back of my head. I am having an MRI of my neck and wanted to now what that would show.
no, you wear a hospital gown.
Nothing metal. Other than the no-metal rule, each hospital will have its own MRI dress code. Sometimes you have to wear the gown, sometimes you can just wear shorts and a t-shirt.
Yes as long as it has no metal in it. If it has any metal then no, as an MRI is like a giant magnet.
an MRI is just a scan
Nope, false. It's safe to have a tattoo and having an MRI. The Ink does contain some metal but in tiny quantities so it's safe.
yes if there is titanium
People with certin implants (ex. pacemakers, neurostimulators) cannot have an MRI. Also the person having the MRI must be able to hold very still.

It really depends on what the MRI is for. If it is an MRI of your leg, water generally wouldn't have any effect on that. If you are having an MRI of your GI track, then you probably should not. The best bet is to call your doctor's office or the lab that you are having the MRI done at.
Yes, but if the extensions clip in or if your hair has a lot of bobby pins it's best to remove them because they can actually interfere with some machines like an MRI, for example.
