No worries on the MRI mixup.


And, since my area is imaging, not cardiology, I was reminded in the other pacemaker thread that you should not go through the WTMD because it has magnetic properties (not as strong as MRI), and apparently the HHMD is out, too. Would question the MMW, since that is more radio, or is it closer to microwave sort of emission? Backscatter would be ok since it is ionizing radiation, but the battery may show up and you'd get a pat-down anyway. Prob best to just have the pat-down, such that it is.

Good luck!
