Using deodorant before MRI procedures

What is an MRI?

“

Why No Metal? MRI machines use strong magnets. Metal objects can be pulled towards the machine, which is risky!

Deodorant and Metal

What Happens with Metal?

[{"selector":"#anim-18c73a5a-104c-42e4-a09b-ac3083fc83cc","keyframes":{"opacity":[0,1]},"delay":200,"duration":1600,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.2, 0.6, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-495c8c81-3d34-43ef-af28-9bea1e5d9497","keyframes":{"transform":["translate3d(703.57160%, 0px, 0)","translate3d(0px, 0px, 0)"]},"delay":200,"duration":1600,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.2, 0.6, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-02f689ee-59be-4873-a868-bad730cb2f9c","keyframes":{"transform":["scale(1)","scale(1.05)","scale(0.995)","scale(1)"],"offset":[0,0.33,0.66,1]},"delay":0,"duration":1000,"easing":"ease-in-out","fill":"both","iterations":1}] Metal can distort the MRI pictures, making it hard to get a clear image of what’s inside you.

Before Your MRI

[{"selector":"#anim-5edab65e-2b58-4663-a8dd-4042b1d6d7cd","keyframes":{"opacity":[0,1]},"delay":0,"duration":1600,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.2, 0.6, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-9a3636a3-a083-409b-9c5a-0d31fc7aa7c6","keyframes":{"transform":["translate3d(598.43755%, 0px, 0)","translate3d(0px, 0px, 0)"]},"delay":0,"duration":1600,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.2, 0.6, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}] Doctors usually ask you not to wear any deodorant before your scan. This helps them get the best images!

Check Your Products

[{"selector":"#anim-ce75b2ae-ab58-484d-aa80-5b4016500656","keyframes":{"opacity":[0,1]},"delay":0,"duration":1600,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.2, 0.6, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-f454e0d5-5f3b-4981-a8eb-16c8e855240e","keyframes":{"transform":["translate3d(551.56251%, 0px, 0)","translate3d(0px, 0px, 0)"]},"delay":0,"duration":1600,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.2, 0.6, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}] Always check your skincare products. Some might contain metals you don’t know about!

Day of the MRI
