Long time ago... at the beginning.

CT and MRI systems do not ingest metal.

MRI systems of course employ very powerful magnets.

Folks were careful back then, but still there were accidents....

Folks using these things on humans must have policies and procedures and must follow them.

I hope your path to better health is fast and hassle-free.

There's an article about a guy in Brazil that went in for an MRI with a a gun in his pants. The MRI set his gun off and he died. There's a guy in India that tried to carry an oxygen tank into an MRI. I think the story is that it exploded and killed him. There are other stories. I'm sure you're more than aware. I don't know if there have been any issues due to shrapnel, but I wouldn't want to test it.
