I don't have the biomagnet implants, I have the NExT RFID + NFC chip by DangerousThings in my right hand so its not as much of a concern.

Just go read straight from the source instead of linking research papers.

It has the warning of:

>MRI COMPATIBILITY WARNING The xG3 and all magnetic implant products should be removed before any MRI or magnetic imaging procedure. While our x-series transponders have tested as compatible with MRI machines up to 7T field strength, all magnetic products are incompatible with MRI machines and procedures.

The comment that I originally responded to was:

> with people implanting rare earth magnets into the tips of their pinky fingers

And I was specifically referring to those rare earth magnets.

Your comment then:

> I have an implant and MRIs or Xrays cause zero issues.

You gave no indication about what type of implant you hand or its manufacturer, and replying to my comment I took it in context that it was a rare earth magnet.

Failing any information about the manufacturer, the information that I am able to provide to say "this can be dangerous" is research papers.

You have further clarified that you only have a RFID and NFC chip implanted and not any magnets ... and provided a link to another product (rare earth magnet implant) from the same manufacturer that indicates that it is indeed dangerous when near an MRI machine which agrees with the original comment.
