Guest guest Posted August 31, 2000 Report Share Posted August 31, 2000 Phil can't have MRIs or MRCPs because he has minute metal fragrments in his eyes form when he was building safes. When you go to have an MRI done they ask if you have ever worked in the steel industry, he asked why and told them that he ground metal to build safes they took a special xray of his eyes that showed the metal fragments. Anything metal could be moved around during that test and it could cause blindness, that's all we'd need. He has that on his medic-alert tag so that if he is unconsious and I'm not around the doctors know not to do that procedure. The MRI was supposed to be done during his tx listing process and I'm sure the cat scan is the periodic followup they do while your listed but I just couldn't remember just exactly what they can determine by this test.
