     • Metal plate, pin or other metallic implant
     • Intrauterine device, such as Copper-7 IUD
     • Insulin pump or other infusion pump

     • Permanent (tattoo) eyeliner

No special preparation is needed. You can eat normally and take medication as usual, unless your doctor has given you other instructions. You may find it easier to relax if you avoid drinking coffee or other caffeinated beverages prior to your exam.
