Has anybody had one of these orbital x-rays to determine if there are any
metal fragments in or around your eyes prior to an MRI? Apparently the
magnet can move any small piece in your eye and do major damage. When I
got to that point on the consent form I couldn't rule out the
possibility....I guess I'll find out tomorrow.


Yep, a few years back. Took about 1 minute - "stand here, hold this", click
and it was done. They came back 5 minutes later and said no problems, go get
your MRI, oh....be sure to remove any genital piercings as well. : )


OUCH
