Why Can’t You Wear Lululemon in an MRI?
Last updated
Ever wondered why you’re advised to leave your favorite Lululemon gear at home when going for an MRI? Let’s dive into this intriguing question.
So, why is it that you can’t wear Lululemon attire during an MRI scan? The answer lies in the details of both the apparel and the medical procedure.
Short Form Answer: Safety and Equipment Protection
Lululemon clothing often contains metallic fibers that can interact with the MRI’s magnetic field. This interaction is not safe for the wearer and can potentially damage the MRI machine.
MRI, or Magnetic Resonance Imaging, uses a powerful magnetic field to create detailed images of the body. Magnetic fields don’t mix well with metal. That’s because metals can be attracted to the magnet, which might cause harm or discomfort. Moreover, these metals can distort the MRI images, making the scan less effective. Lululemon’s high-quality, technical apparel sometimes uses small amounts of metallic thread to add certain features or finishes to their products, hence the restriction.
