Hello @MRItech, welcome to the Community Forums! 

 

Thanks for your post and the details that were shared on it. Let me share with you that all Fitbit devices contain ferromagnetic materials that may be attracted to an MRI scanner. We recommend that you avoid using Fitbit devices in the vicinity of MRI scanners.

 

Let me know if you have any additional questions, I'll be around.
