When I had an MRI for my shoulder they only inserted me into the machine to cover my head and that area. I don't know how far the magnet pulls. It depends on the metal, the type and the location. I have had at least 5 maybe 6 MRI/MRAs in the past 7-8 years. My right Humerus is metal from just above the elbow to and including the ball and I have plates and screws like molley bolts in the shoulder. That is all secure and OK and I know mine is all metal except for one nylon plate. This accounts for about 12-13 of the 36-37 inches of scars I have from duty. Newer versions are I believe ceramic or some other compound. That was not a problem and the radiologist told me it would not interfere and it didn't. But when I mentioned loose stuff, before the first MRI, they went looking. I had all visible removed years ago and none was found. I would say, Kerry never got an MRI with loose metal in his bod. He is lying again. Anybody surprised? uw
