Answer:

Yes you should

Step-by-step explanation:

When you are about to enter the mr the best thing you should do is to take off any form of metallic objects that you may have on you this could be a wrist watch, it could be other forms of accessories such as hair clips, keys or even coins. having any of these objects on you could cause a person to have an injury.

This is because this object could change its position when in the room also it could cause signal losses and could also make objects unclear for the radiologist
