What to do if i am having an mri do i have to take my tongue ring out?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
MRI and metal: Chances are, you will. An MRI requires laying in a very strong magnetic field. This can cause metal objects to move, potentially injuring your tongue. It can also cause the metal to become uncomfortably warm. ALso, if the MRI is of head/face/neck, it can interfere with the images
