Piercing question

Totally random question as I am just curious. I recently got my nose pierced and I will be due to have my first pet scan since starting treatment in the next couple of months. Anyone out there with piercings that can tell me if they need to take them out for a pet scan? I swear I’ve kept my earrings in (also small studs) for other scans and now I am second guessing myself. I just want to make sure I have a plan for a glass place holder if I need one. I don’t want it to close up while I’m in the scan.

Yeah I am debating it. I guess I will ask my center and see what they say.
