A member asked:
Had an mri of foot. i didn't realise l had a metal zipper in my pants , l felt like i was being pulled in the machine. will my scans still be ok
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Probably OK: Your MRI was being monitored by the technician and (s)he would have repeated any parts that weren't clear. Most zippers are made of non magnetic metal.
