Piercings have to be removed prior to the scan. ANY metal must be removed.

You’ll certainly have to remove this jewelery. You have to understand that a 1.5T or 3.0T magnet is so incredibly high in magnetic force that it would literally rip ferromagnetic substances right out of you if you so much as came close to the magnet. These are incredibly powerful magnets.

All metal comes out, no exceptions.
Even if the jewelry didn’t rip through your body, it might make the scan unreadable. The jewelry can also heat up and cause burns.
You need to think about what your priority is here – knowing what’s in your head, or keeping an earring in place.

Takes a while to load, but shows what happens when metal gets too close to an MRI magnet. Floor buffers, wheelchairs, oxygen tanks, etc.

I know I had to remove my earrings, necklace, etc. You’ll probably have to remove your stuff too.
But just call the MRI imaging center and ask – they’ll be able to help you out. Would you be able to get in a call before going?
Good luck with it. And if you need it, consider asking to put a washcloth or rag over your eyes so you’re not as tempted to look around while in there. Some people get claustrophobic and not looking helps.

It would be safest to remove all of your metal jewelry. The MRI magnets are very powerful.

It depends on what part of your body is being scanned. If its your knee or lower back, then you my not have to remove them.
If its your upper back, neck, or head, then they will have to be removed.

You’ll have to take it out.
Get yourself some plastic spaceholders if you need to.

If the jewelry is stainless steel then you will need to take them out.
When I had my MRI done the lady was freaking out at me because I have 7 piercing in my ears. They are all gauged though and contain acrylic (hard plastic), rubber, and glass. She said I had to take them out and I refused. She took the picture and was shocked there was no metal in them.
Sorry, but it sounds like they are going to make you take them out! Any metal around your head is going to need to be removed. You can try and find some plastic earrings and put them in before you go. I know Hot Topic sells small acrylic guages that are like 18G and 20G (which is usually the size of a typical earring).
Good luck!
