Will an mri detect glass in the throat?

An MRI is not typically used to detect glass in the throat, as it is primarily designed for imaging soft tissues, organs, and joints. Glass is a dense material that may not be easily visible on MRI scans. Instead, a CT scan or X-ray would be more effective for identifying foreign objects like glass in the throat due to their ability to visualize denser materials. If there is suspicion of glass ingestion, seeking immediate medical attention is essential.
