MRI with metal fragments in the eye

EternalGeek · 2012-06-14 19:51:58

Just a quick question. If someone has confirmed particles of steel in their eye from welding (x-rays have proven it) are they able to have an MRI scan? If yes, how do they get around the problem of the metal in the eye?

they have a chat with the doc who's considering ordering the MRI.

(and they read the forum charter and sticky about commenting on personal medical situations)
