Can an MRI be safely continued/completed if a foreign body is found and then identified as a metal nut (very likely ferrous)?

By

Check my post history for more information.

I'm trying to clear up whether or not this is even a possibility. I'm being told I probably swallowed a metal nut. It's in my abdominal cavity, and the location led them to believe it is in my digestive tract.

I really don't see an accidental, random nut I would have swallowed being nonferrous (due to expense).

I do know it's possible, but I can't handle the smallest bit of gristle. I also have titanium fusion hardware (what the scan was for, I'm having pain).

AI for radiology - A survey

By
Hello folks! We are a group of students from Karolinska Institutet and Stockholm University (Sweden). We are conducting a short survey (it should not take more than 10 minutes of your time) to evaluate an Artificial Intelligence framework for evaluating medical imaging and, in particular, the effect that explainability can have on clinicians' attitudes toward it. We welcome anyone who interacts with medical imaging to take our survey, so please, feel free to do it even if you are still a student or an intern! If you know someone who works in the field, please, pass them the survey. It would help us greatly. https://bit.ly/RTEX_survey Thanks in advance to all of you! submitted by /u/francozzz [link] [comments] source https://www.reddit.com/r/Radiology/comments/r2ratp/ai_for_radiology_a_survey/
