WellBefore 3D Pro with nose wire removed okay for an MRI?

Mask Advice

If I take the nose wire out of a WellBefore 3D Pro with adjustable ear loops, is it otherwise metal-free? I had to get a last-minute MRI schedule for tomorrow.

My other option is to take the nose wire out of an ear loop Powecom, which I did for an MRI in 2022, but the WellBefore fits me a LOT better because of the adjustable ear loops and KF94 shape, so I would love to use that if possible.

(Yes, I know that cutting the slight slit into the mask to take out the nose wire technically does compromise the filtration a bit, and that not having a nose wire also compromises the fit of these masks, but these are the options available to me right now. Please resist all-or-nothing thinking for this situation, unless there is metal involved lol.)
