Exploding Eyeballs

[pasithea]

So. Finally got scheduled for an MRI... Next Saturday morning. BUT between now and then I have to get an x-ray of my head because I sometimes use a grinder and grind metal. Apparently, even though I don't do it regularly, there's a chance I might have tiny metal filings in my eyes and being too near the MRI machine could make my eyeballs explode or something.

Cool.

Very few have stainless steel; silver and gold amalgams were just easier to use. Steel was only common in bone reconstruction and eastern european dental work.

Most metals we use in the body are not ferrous. (and therefore magnetic)
