People like that guy is the reason some MRIs require you to walk through a metal detector first. People are stupid and will ignore safety measures all the time.
If I’m remembering correctly, the butt plug he was using was marketed as being 100% silicone, so he figured it would be safe. He didn’t know it had a steel core in it.
Apparently once the clips are fully melded with your body that may no longer be an issue. Note I am not saying it won’t be an issue.
If going for an MRI fill in the questionare and bring it up with the doctor before stepping in the MRI no matter what. Better safe than shotgunning yourself.
Radiologist here. Virtually all surgical clips (in the US) are made of titanium and safe for MRI and have been for quite a few years now. We routinely scan people with clips that are decades old and don’t have issues.
We do frequently scan unconscious patients and typically that involves reviewing surgical records and prior imaging, questioning family about surgeries/implants, and frequently the techs will check the patients skin looking for any surgical scars. If there is any question we get X-rays first to look for metal.

Sounds like that guy wasn’t being stupid though. He didn’t know it had a metal core.

you still have to question why he was wearing it to an MRI appointment
I’m assuming he needed it.
