Hi Joan

Debs is right you do have to fill in a questionnaire but it doesn't always come in the post so it may be worth giving them a ring before you go for your MRI to save you a trip just in case if you are concerned. The MRI department will explain to you what is allowable and what is not.

Have a good weekend

the surgeon at the hospital know's that i have the artifical hip he said yesterday that he had seen the exray and he could tell i had had the hip a long time (13) year's. joan xx
