What happens if you have metal on during radiology?

If you have metal on during a radiology exam, it can interfere with the imaging process. Metal objects, such as jewelry or clothing with metallic components, can create artifacts or distortions in the images, potentially obscuring important details. In some cases, the radiologist may need to repeat the exam without the metal to ensure accurate results. It's important to inform the technologist about any metal you are wearing before the procedure.
