As someone that was shot in the neck and I have metal that cannot go through an MRI machine... will this be my savior?

As someone with metal implants, my experience is that metal causes extreme scattering in CT imagery which makes the modality often useless if you need to get anywhere near the site even with state-of-the-art computational filtering techniques. So I guess it depends on how much metal is still in there and where you need to look.

That's false.

What is needed? I get shot, I have metal, I have not decided to operate to remove it. Life goes on
