There actually was a guy who wore a buttplug with a metal core in an MRT. The plug shot through his body like a high velocity bullet and was stopped by his sternum. He survived with severe internal injuries and sued the company selling the plug.
People like that guy is the reason some MRIs require you to walk through a metal detector first. People are stupid and will ignore safety measures all the time.
If I’m remembering correctly, the butt plug he was using was marketed as being 100% silicone, so he figured it would be safe. He didn’t know it had a steel core in it.
Apparently once the clips are fully melded with your body that may no longer be an issue. Note I am not saying it won’t be an issue.
If going for an MRI fill in the questionare and bring it up with the doctor before stepping in the MRI no matter what. Better safe than shotgunning yourself.
Radiologist here. Virtually all surgical clips (in the US) are made of titanium and safe for MRI and have been for quite a few years now. We routinely scan people with clips that are decades old and don’t have issues.
We do frequently scan unconscious patients and typically that involves reviewing surgical records and prior imaging, questioning family about surgeries/implants, and frequently the techs will check the patients skin looking for any surgical scars. If there is any question we get X-rays first to look for metal.

Sounds like that guy wasn’t being stupid though. He didn’t know it had a metal core.

you still have to question why he was wearing it to an MRI appointment
I’m assuming he needed it.

Sounds like a setup for a House episode.

he needs mouse bites to live

If the plug was advertised as being pure latex or whatever, then fair enough.
Yeah, that was exactly the case. Still weird to think “hey, I have this medical check-up today, better wear my best plug!”
Especially a medical procedure where they will see that you have a butt plug in
Maybe that’s his kink
Want to know how one would figure out they have a kink that specific
Maybe they forgot? Lol
