Testing magnet implant with MRI machines
Hi all,
A new poster here, hello! I've had a neodymium magnet implanted in my left ring finger for over 2 years and have been really enjoying it. However, I'd like to bring up my concern about my upcoming MRI scan. (As a note, I have spent the past hour researching and reading all posts on here and other sites on the effects of MRI scans and having a magnetic implant.)
I went into an MRI room today to test whether the implant would be affected and I must say, it was uncomfortable. I felt a magnetic pull when my hand was directly in front of the machine and felt it move depending where I placed my hand in the magnetic field. It was bearable though, and I will be going ahead with my MRI scan as it is an open MRI machine and I will not be required to place my hand inside.
I was hoping whether other grinders who have had experiences with MRIs had advice for me? E.g. Should I tightly wrap my finger with medical tape to stop it from moving? What is recommended? Does the magnet heat up after some time?
