All patients/volunteers going into the scanner should change into a gown and remove their shoes. Places that don’t do this have a vastly greater accident rate in my experience.
It’s surprising what is conductive or magnetic. Many garments now include silver or other anti-microbial materials. I’ve encountered clothing with electronics inside or with metal in the labelling.
Burns are the most common accident in MRI and in someone sedated or under anaesthesia you will cause massive harm. It’s all scary, so I change everyone.
‘MRI safe’ is a risky claim to make, as something safe on one scanner is unsafe on another.
