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.


Damn, that has to be a powerful magnetic force. Metal does show up really well on xray.
Outside of movement, induction heating seems to be part of the risk.

I took a wire brush fragment to my eye once. Not something you forget about quickly.
