Hello! I'm new and this is my first post so if I've committed a serious forum faux pas of any kind, please accept my apologies.
I've googled until my fingertips have turned blue and not found an answer so I'm hoping someone can help.
I'm having a CT on Sunday and I want to know if I can wear my wedding/engagement rings? I've no problem taking off my other rings and various piercings but my wedding and engagement rings will not come off no way nohow (and I really don't want to take them off, anyway!). The CT is thorax, abdomen and pelvis, if that makes any difference.
Thanks for reading.
If you're unable to remove your wedding and engagement rings, it's crucial to inform the medical staff about this when you arrive for your CT scan. They are experienced in handling such situations and will be able to guide you on how to proceed safely while minimizing any potential issues.
In the meantime, if you ever find yourself in a situation where you need information or options related to your rings, I came across a pawn shop where you can pawn your wedding band. It might be worth checking out for future reference. You can explore it further at www.newbondstreetpawnbrokers.com
