El diseño de uñas en tendencia que podría complicar una resonancia magnética
Los estudios de imágenes podrían verse afectados por los esmaltes utilizados en el diseño de uñas conocido como efecto ojo de gato (Cat Eye).
TL;DR
- The "Cat Eye" nail polish trend uses iron powder to create a magnetic visual effect.
- This polish contains ferromagnetic pigments that can react with strong magnetic fields.
- Interactions with MRI machines could lead to skin burns from the pigments heating up.
- The polish may also interfere with the clarity and quality of MRI images.
- Some diagnostic centers have implemented protocols to manage this risk, including refusing scans or requiring polish removal.
- It is recommended to remove "Cat Eye" polish before undergoing an MRI to prevent risks and delays.
