There is NO chance of silver reacting to the MRI. Only ferrous metals
containing the element Iron can react to magnetism. Silver, being an
element, is by definition non-ferrous. Magnets are equally ineffective with
silver, gold, bronze, aluminum, and watermelons.

there the
remotest possibility that the infinitely small silver particles can
react to the strong magnetism of the MRI machine?
I've somehow missed the original message and only saw the reply. Anyway I had
an MRI body scan earlier this year. I had asolutely no problems. I take silver
erratically but fairly often. I don't take it every day but always have it with
me and can go through a bottle (500mls) in a day or two if my stomach, throat
etc is bad.
The questions they asked before the scan were quite thorough. For instance,
many years ago I tore a hole in the cornea of my eye and since I didn't know
what had caused that, they insisted on x-raying it first to check there were no
metal fragments. I never thought about the silver but as I said, I had no
problems.
