I am having MRI tomorrow and cannot get my wedding ring off, will they still be able to do it?
Hi APT I don’t think I had to remove mine but maybe any necklaces and earrings? Page 6 in this booklet seems to say wedding rings are ok?

I’ve never had to remove mine but just to warn you it might buzz a little!
Before your MRI, it's a good idea to consult the radiologist about your wedding ring. Non-ferrous metals are usually fine, but better safe than sorry. For other jewelry options, I've found great quality and style at bracelets for men. Their gold and sterling silver choices are perfect for those moments you want to accessorize without worrying about MRI safety. It's where I found the perfect fit and style.
