Hi beersnob, I had an MRI scan done and it was not an issue at all... you could double-check by simply phoning the place you are having it done, and asking ....no need to give your name..just say you`re phoning on behalf of a person who`s having it done ... they won`t need any personal details from you in order to answer your question..it`s a simple ` yes or no` answer!
