Ferrari Mailing List: Re: F1 Drivers Get Their Shorts in a Bunch over Underwear Mandates (scott saidel)

MRI uses magnetic field to flip hydrogen molecules in your body. The closer you are, the higher the magnetic effect. There are stories of iv poles and oxygen canisters being sucked in from across the room. A piercing - even a tattoo with metallic ink - can have a significant effect when you are in the machine - and can be pulled tight off of the patient. They can also heat up and cause burns.  Obviously a problem if the patient is unconscious and the metal is not identified.

What about all those body piercings some of them (Hamilton especially) seem to have?  Yet another reason to think they're the stupidest thing ever.....  (and for us dummies, what happens in an MRI machine if there is metal on your body?  Is it like putting metal into a microwave oven?)

Can?t opine, much, on underwear but you certainly wouldn?t want any metal on your body if they had to slip you into a mri machine.
