Nollywood star Liz DaSilva recently shared a terrifying experience she had while preparing for an MRI scan.
The actress revealed that she almost overlooked metal pins in her wig, which could have posed a serious risk due to the MRI machine’s powerful magnets.
In a video she posted on Instagram, Liz explained that she was already feeling nervous about the scan and made the medical staff aware of her anxiety.
She carefully removed her earrings, chain, bra, and waist beads—but the pins in her wig nearly went unnoticed.
“I had an appointment in the morning and another in the afternoon. I was nervous, so I told the staff. Just as I was about to go in, I remembered the pins in my wig,” Liz recounted. She added that the staff member attending to her had almost overlooked it too.
Overwhelmed with relief, Liz thanked God for protecting her from what could have been a dangerous situation.
Speaking in Yoruba, she said, “God truly saved me. What could have happened? If not for His protection, I might not be here today.”
MRI stands for Magnetic Resonance Imaging. It is a medical imaging technique used to produce detailed images of the inside of the body. Unlike X-rays or CT scans, MRI does not use ionizing radiation.
Instead, it uses strong magnetic fields and radio waves to create images of organs, tissues, and bones.
Her experience serves as a cautionary tale, reminding everyone to double-check for metal objects before undergoing an MRI scan, as even small items can be hazardous.
