eye x-ray
Need an MRI for my back, before that must get my eyes x-rayed for microscopic metal fragments. Do I treat it like a dental x-ray? Or are there any concerns I should prepare for?
MEDICAL PROFESSIONAL
The X ray is taken just like a regular X ray of the skull, sinus or orbits.

more a question than a comment...I am just curious how they xray the eye for the metal fragments?
MEDICAL PROFESSIONAL
Normally they don't get eye x rays unless you have a really really really old metal implant in the eye or a history of penetrating eye injury.
