Does this possibly depend on the field strength? I was asked to change into a hospital gown when I had an MRI a couple years ago.

- lostlogin 3y agoThis is standard practice at many places and should be standard everywhere. The American College of Radiology say the below [1]. ‘it is advisable to require that the patients or research subjects wear site-supplied MR Safe scrubs or gowns in place of their own clothing and undergarments in the region undergoing direct RF irradiation.’ Slightly odd - this appears to be about burns rather than projectile risk. Anecdotally, sites that don’t change patients have more accidents.
