I got my doubts it would be from CS. First of all metal detectors are set to find ferrous metals, such as a knife or gun would be made of, not non-ferrous metals such as copper and silver, so they are less sensitive to non-ferrous metals. Second, the amount of silver in her body would be less than the head of a pin, far below the threshold for detection. There would be 100 times that much iron in her blood. Lastly, detectors are more sensitive to all the metal being in one place, not dispersed throughout the body due to the way metals interact with magnetic fields. I have walked through them many times with change in my pocket without any problem.
I would say the detector was not calibrated properly. Marshall Richard Harris wrote: > Hi Deb,I certainly hope your daughter gets a good report from her > MRI.
