RE: The MRI and Looping: For Ambient & Experimental Music?

At our hospital they are extremely careful about who does and does not
get into the room. I'm not allowed beyond the control room because I've
never been screened. As I understand it, one of the biggest concerns is
with metal fragments that can get imbedded in the eyes if you have ever
done any sort of metal grinding or surfacing. These minute particles
don't affect the eyesight but should the magnet rip them out of your
eyes... well you get the picture....
