True:
- They use magnets to produce images of soft tissues. (MRI uses strong magnetic fields and radiofrequency pulses to image soft-tissue structures.)
- The patient must not be wearing any metal during the test. (Patients must remove jewelry and other metal objects; some implanted metal devices may be contraindications or require special precautions.)

False:
- They measure the electricity flowing in the patient's heart. (That is an ECG/EKG, not MRI.)
- They are normally used while the patient is exercising. (MRI scans are normally done with the patient still; stress tests are usually done with drugs or separate exercise equipment, not routine during MRI.)
