LOVE nose rings

Not my particular favorite, but then again I spend WAY more time inadvertantly looking up folks noses with some pretty powerful magnifying glasses as I'm working in their mouths. And after seeing lots and lots and lots of the inner clips of random nose rings snot encased, that long ago got rid of any of excitement I may have once gotten from seeing them :eek:

Depends on the type of MRI machine and the size of someone! More modern, open MRI's you can get away with having gold jewelry closer to the image site without having the metal in the jewelry affect the image quality that the magnets of the MRI give. Older, "closed" MRI, need a greater seperation. Also gotta factor in that the face/neck region of someone that's 5'-5'6" is alot closer most of the time to the knee of someone that's say 6'-6'6".

When you get a metallic object in the field of view for that MRI image, it the effect that the metal has basically looks like the scene in Star Wars where the Death Star explodes emminating from the metallic object in the body - happens quite often in MRI's of the head where a portion of the oral cavity gets picked up in the image and that person has some type of metallic based dental work


thats prolly it - the machine they used only had me in up to the waist and was rectangular shaped.

Funny story - I was using one of the older Ipods (which they said was fine to use) and let it get a little too close to the machine. Freakin thing practically got ripped out of my hand and sucked in. I had to put some effort into pulling it back out of the magnetic field. I kept it up high by my head after that...

Yeah, I was in a closed MRI up to my neck--only my head wasn't in the machine. They put on music for me to listen to, I got to pick the station. The thing is that I had a cough that day and had throat lozenges with me but they wouldn't let me have any. Just as I couldn't hold back a cough any longer (and it was a big one), the MRI was over--thankfully!

Yup, those aren't exactly small, wimpy magnets inside of those machines ;)

Chris Rock had a great bit about tounge piercings....it's not exactly family freindly. However, it done sum things up nicely.

I'll refrain for your sake then, from telling some of the stories about piercings that my sister in-law, an OB-GYN, tells :eek:

In DC one time on a 'retreat' with the other managers from Snowshoe MTN, we went to a particular club. Let's just say this one performer was from that point forward referred to as the 'Zipper' and it had everything to do with metal and nothing to do with moguls :eek:

V, I do have a couple of urologist friends who I'm sure would love to tell some piercing stories that I would gladly relay to you over a couple of beers next to grommet this winter ;) :lol: We'd probably just need to make sure that the kids are off mesmerized by some TV show before I'd get into "story telling" mode ;)

I WON'T ask my 1 proctologist friend if he's got any piercing stories to tell :eek: :eek: :eek:
