Can I wear jewelry on the day of the physical examination

It is usually not recommended to wear jewelry on the day of the physical examination to avoid affecting the accuracy of the examination results. Jewelry may interfere with imaging examinations or cause measurement errors. Metal necklaces, bracelets, earrings, etc. are subject to X-ray CT、 During magnetic resonance imaging and other examinations, artifacts may occur, leading to image blurring or misjudgment. Some physical examination items require measurement of neck circumference, wrist circumference, and other data, and wearing jewelry can affect the measurement values. Partial skin contact tests such as electrocardiograms, blood pressure monitoring, etc. may be hindered by jewelry that may obstruct normal contact between electrodes or cuffs. During the physical examination, it may be necessary to repeatedly wear and take off clothing, and there is a risk of losing valuable jewelry. Medical examination institutions usually require the removal of jewelry in the precautions section, and it is recommended to keep it properly in advance. Before the physical examination, all jewelry, including earrings, rings, and other small items, should be removed. If it is necessary to wear it due to special reasons, medical staff should be informed in advance and the impact should be evaluated. After the physical examination is completed, confirm that all examination items have been completed before wearing it again. Long term wearing of jewelry that is difficult to remove, such as wedding rings, can be covered with adhesive tape to avoid direct contact with the equipment. On the day of the physical examination, it is recommended to wear loose clothing and avoid complex accessories in order to quickly complete various examinations.
