A member asked:

I'm getting an mri, mra, and mrv of my brain with contrast. can i wear my contacts during the scan?

Yes: There is usually a screening form that you will need to complete, it asks if you have metal or metal fragments within your body, have a cochlear implant, heart valve or aneurysm clip, or if you are claustraphobic. The form wants to provide information on objects that could be adversely affected by a strong magnet.
