Risk from swallowed nose ring and MRI

Hello, happy to delete this if posts like this aren't allowed

I have an MRI tomorrow and Ive been freaking out a bit because 2.5 months ago I may have swallowed a nose ring (it was while hooking up with someone, they thought they had swallowed it or lost it but there's a chance I could have swallowed it). Is it safe for me to get an MRI? Should I request an x-ray beforehand to minimize risk? I really don't want metal shooting out of my body lol

AI for radiology - A survey

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/
