One in ten are carriers for genetic hemochromatosis. One in 200 actually have the genetic mutation for iron storing in the organs, That is alot of people walking around eating iron fortified cereal that need the genetic test and treatment. Mmmm... why don't we put serum ferriten on the CBC? Ask for your serum ferriten to be checked if you have arthritis and fit the profile.
My Dad is going for an MRI next week. I told him not to eat iron fortified cereal for a week before. His shredded wheat has 90% of daily iron requirements. Iron is listed as reduced iron? Anyhow thanks for the video, and he was not told to not abstain from eating breakfast the morning of his MRI.
Reduced iron: (Chem.) metallic iron obtained through deoxidation of an oxide of iron by exposure to a current of hydrogen or other reducing agent. When hydrogen is used the product is called also iron by hydrogen.
Interesting, but kind of hard to see... I gather that the magnetic field from the MRI made the pieces of cereal move on the plate, but I couldn't really see it... maybe you could elaborate on what you saw in the vid details... I'd like to see this up close but somehow I suspect that the camera might not like the strong magnetic field much! XD The metal I found in my cereal experiemnt was definitely iron, or at least ferrous in nature, and yes definitely BIG particle sizes! :-/
@JcmdiStockFootage Yea there is no way we could take a camera into the MRI suite. :X I was going to narrate as we went along, but we snuck this experiment in between patients. We had at most 5 mins to get this done. I had already postponed getting this video out by two weeks because we just didn't have time. If you turn the volume up really loud you can hear me saying it's moving. If I get the chance to do this again, I will for sure post in on here. Thanks for commenting.
