So I know obviously ferrous metals is a no go and that metal may heat up but I was curious about cat eye nail polish. Was wondering if it reacts with the MRI scanner at all. I wasn't sure if there is enough magnetized particles in the polish to cause an effect.
For example, I wear my 14k earrings in the scanner room all the time. Gold itself is non-ferrous but 14k is only 57 percent gold and mixed with other alloys but I know it's not enough to cause a noticeable reaction but then again I'm only going in there to get a patient on and off the table.
