But that’s zinc shot… It doesn’t even look like steel. It shouldn’t be attracted to a magnet. Perhaps they’re steel inside, but the outside is clearly zinc.
I soon expect to have screws implanted in my spine. I also have other infirmities. I hope like hell to never have screws ripped through my vertebrae by an MRI.
I think, as someone else said, things installed into the body are usually titanium and thus non ferrous. Fortunately they don’t generally cause issues with MRIs as a result.
(I only know this because when I broke my ankle, during the pre-surgery interview, I asked the surgeon about going through metal scanners at an airport.)
I think its not about the property of beeing a metall ist a bout beeing ferromagnetic (In that case probably not an issue because these bearing balls are usually out of some kind stainless steel. )
Wow: Balls of Steel AND Darwin Award at the same time…
A little metal wont kill you. It will ruin the image.
Metal will ruin a CT scan. Metal will kill you in an MRI machine.

Isn’t that just because they use non-magnetic metals for implants?
Titanium, afaik
And that’s zinc shot. Perhaps they’re steel inside, but the outside is clearly zinc.
How on earth can you tell the difference between steel and zinc at a glance?
This isn’t an implant though. Massive difference.

Ugh, yeah, how do they even do MRIs for people with metal parts?

Non ferrous metal.
Metal in a CT machine = bad image
Metal (particularly ferromagnetic metal) in an MRI machine = injured patient

These aren’t bearing balls. They’re zinc shot. Perhaps they’re steel inside, but the outside is clearly zinc.
We get it, zinc shot man.
