How Lip Gloss Affects MRI
Lip gloss contains metals that can interfere with the MRI signals, causing artifacts.
Artifacts are distortions or anomalies in the MRI images, reducing their clarity and accuracy.
Metals in lip gloss can heat up during the scan, posing a safety risk.
Before your MRI, you’ll be asked to remove any cosmetics, including lip gloss.
Clear MRI images are crucial for accurate diagnosis and treatment planning.
Use non-metallic lip balms or go without any lip products before your scan.
Always follow the pre-scan instructions given by your healthcare provider.
Removing lip gloss before an MRI ensures your safety and the quality of your scan results.
