A member asked:
Is it safe to get a head mri if i accidentally swallowed a penny?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
The penny would be in your gastrointestinal tract and would most likely pass in a short period of time. In addition, MRI scanners use strong magnetic fields and pennies are not magnetic.
