MRI Safety

Because an MRI exam involves a high field magnetic, Shields conducts a thorough patient screening for metal. If fact, we do a double safety check. It’s is vitally important to make sure there are no pins, clips, rods, pacemakers or other metal items or fragments remaining from prior surgeries. Shields MRI adheres to all FDA (Federal Drug Administration) and ACR (American College of Radiology) requirements.
