Jewelry
Hearing aids
Credit cards
Dentures
Pocket knives
Eye glasses
Pens
All of these articles can be damaged or projected during the activation of the magnetic resonance imaging machine.
If you are a pacemaker patient , you can't have a MRI. This is due to the strong magnetic fields.
Patients with metallic objects in their body should not have a MRI.
Patients with replaced joints
Artificial heart values
Inner ear implants
Brain aneurysm clips
Older vascular stents
Some employees from sheet metal industries have to be screened due to the exposure they face from small metal fragments. The screening is done by x-ray. This is to protect your eyes and skull.
Before having the procedure , the patient is asked to sign a consent form verifying that they have none of the features above.
MRI'S have to be performed in away from outdoor interferences. The waves used during a MRI are close in frequency to the FM radio station waves. During this procedure the patient lays on their back on a movable table that is very narrow. The table slowly slides into a large tunnel within the scanner. Don't keep your eyes open. This will freak you out.
According to what part of the body they are imaging , the technician may need to apply small devices around your head; leg; or arm. These devices are known as body coils which receive the radio waves pulses. This also allows for a higher quality imagine. If you need a contrast ,it will be administered by IV in your hand or arm. A technician observes you the entire viewing time.
Different sets of images will be done that last from two to fifteen minutes. Depending on the part of the part of body being scanned it could take a hour to complete the scan.
If you suffer from a fear of being closed in , you may ask your physician to prescribe you valium to take before having the procedure done. It is very confining in that small tunnel. There is no room to move and you may be strapped down to the table.
This may sound scary, but patients seem to benefit when they can find out the exact cause of their pain or symptoms.

The title Pool Tournament Eve above would be more accurate if it said day instead of eve. As I type this article, 4:36 in the morning, March 1, 2008, I should be sleeping.
Tomorrow is the annual Dr Cue Tournament here in Pueblo Colorado. Billiards is pretty popular here in Pueblo. This tournament is the largest held here. Players come from all over the State of Colorado and sometimes a few other states. We have 2 BCA (Billiards Congress of America) National Champions residing here in Pueblo along with many other players who shoot lights out.
Dr. Cue (Tom Rossman) puts on a trick shot exhibition the night before the tournament. I attended this show last night where I payed my entry fee of $40 and watched Tom put on a great show as usual.
The pool hall where this tournament is played is about 15 minutes from my house. I made it home by 10:30 PM and finally fell asleep around 11:30. Right on nice job. Get some rest before the tournament. Not.
My eyes popped open around five till two and I have not been able to get back to sleep. Thursday night wasnt much better because I only slept about 4 hours. I am hoping that writing this post gets me tired.
I will be bringing my lap top to this tournament and plan to report on the event between my matches. I will also be bringing my video camera which is also a pretty cool digital camera. This should make for some cool reporting and hopefully some interesting and exciting content.
Between a couple of brain freeze attacks and and watching some billiards on my DVR another half hour has gone by. It is now 5 in the morning and I must be present in the pool hall by 10:00 AM. Ouch. Dont they know that pool players are not early risers by nature?
Well maybe my plan is working. I just experienced a yawning attack. I think I will attempt to get about 3 or 4 more hours sleep time in before the big Dr Cue Pool Tournament today.
Thats it for now.
To Your Run Out Success,
Ted
