Wow: Balls of Steel AND Darwin Award at the same time…

A little metal wont kill you. It will ruin the image.

I think its not about the property of beeing a metall ist a bout beeing ferromagnetic (In that case probably not an issue because these bearing balls are usually out of some kind stainless steel. )

I was told metal interferes with the scan. By a guy doing the scan.

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.
