Did you inject it in yourself? Or did the person who did it decide they can't remove it? I've been tempted by the magnetic implants when they first became a thing, but given that later in life I've now required a few MRIs, I'm glad I didn't get it done.

from what I have seen the DangerousThings / Vivokey implants are MRI safe. I even read about someone with a Titan magnet in there finger getting MRIs and not having any problems.

  Don't do this. Don't suggest its safe for others to do. It's VERY not safe to bring anything ferrous or magnetic into the presence of an MRI. You may destroy the device that is going to help save someone's life.

    Don't spout nonsense that you're clearly uninformed about. That's not how any of this works. Yes, a large piece of metal is dangerous in an MRI. A three gram magnet in a finger not so much.

  I personally know someone that did an MRI with a finger magnet and yes, there's a fair bit to it, but it's plenty doable. Obviously consult your doctor and the tech, but know that it has been done successfully several times.

I’ve had magnetic implant and had it removed years later out of a fear of the silicone sheath being penetrated at some point. The person who helped me with my rfid implant is in a different state. But at the time we used an 8ga needle and slide it thru the center.
