Generally, no-- if by "silver" you mean jewelry or piercings. These must be removed before you have the MRI. The concern is that certain items might come loose or distort the images, and thus distort the test results. But if you are asking about dental fillings, even if they contain silver, these are not "loose," so they would be okay. According to the American Radiological Society, the following items would potentially be a problem, and thus should not be worn to an MRI:
Yes, you can wear pants in an MRI machine as long as they do not have any metal components such as zippers or buttons. It is best to wear loose-fitting, comfortable clothing without any metal objects to avoid interference with the MRI scan.
No, an MRI will not pull silver fillings out of teeth. While MRI machines use powerful magnets, the materials used in dental fillings, including silver amalgam, are not affected in a way that would cause them to be dislodged. However, it is always important to inform your healthcare provider about any dental work prior to undergoing an MRI.
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.
an MRI is just a scan
Yes, you can wear a wig during an MRI; however, it's important to check the wig's materials. MRI machines use strong magnets, so wigs made with metal components should be removed. Additionally, inform the MRI technician about the wig before the procedure to ensure safety and comfort.
yes if there is titanium
No, you should not wear a Fitbit or any other electronic device while working in an MRI environment. The strong magnetic fields used in MRI machines can interfere with electronic devices, potentially damaging them and posing safety risks. It's best to follow your workplace's safety protocols regarding electronic devices in MRI areas.
One drawback of having an MRI scan is that it can be claustrophobic for some people, as the machine is a tight space that patients must remain still in for an extended period of time.
People with certin implants (ex. pacemakers, neurostimulators) cannot have an MRI. Also the person having the MRI must be able to hold very still.
