I was told that because I have stents (plastic coated with platinum) I can never get an MRI again by my cardiologist.
A friend who makes knives felt the little bits of metal that he’s picked up in his skin over years of grinding blades getting pulled out of him during an MRI.
Maybe aluminum foil in your pocket would only “interfere with the scan,” but those magnets are powerful enough to make any metal in your body come out, violently.
I know someone with metal pins in their leg and they have had a MRI. It depends on the metal. Since I didn’t specify what kind of metal everyone rushes forward to speculate on how wrong I am.
Not at all, I was simply pointing out why you were wrong. You’re hallucinating this supposed importance that everyone places on you being wrong.
This is at least your second comment of you complaining about someone disagreeing with you, so maybe your last sentence is projection and you’re the one who’s feels powerless in your life?
MRIs work because strong enough magnetic fields will interact with any material, not just ferrous metals. This can be impacted by the structure said materials form (stents are a weave like a finger trap and therefore more prone to interaction with magnetic fields than say a solid cylinder) but I’d be inclined to say your friend was lucky. Ball bearings like in the OP are nearly always steel outside of specific high end applications and therefore would behave like they were coming out of a shotgun shell.
Nothing you are going to type here is going to change the comments made by the tech operating the imaging system while I’m testing network connections right next to him around fifteen years ago.

The post is obviously insinuating that these are iron balls, so in this context you are wrong.
Its important to you I be wrong. How powerless you must be in your day to day life.

Sounds like a sad way to live.
Except that they’re clearly zinc shot. I think the poster made a funny without realising that they aren’t steel, unless it’s zinc-coated
