Magtrace?

Has anyone here had a magtrace done instead of sentinel lymph node biopsy? I'm scheduled for bilateral mx at the end of this month. They're doing the slnb on my left, since that side has invasive cancer, but on the right where they've found only DCIS the doctor has mentioned doing a magtrace instead. She says this will leave open the lymph node biopsy option if they find anything else in the right after they've done the full pathology.

I'm kind of wondering if this will make me set off metal detectors after? Anyone have experience to share? I searched the forums and don't see mentions.There are lots of articles but I haven't found anyone who's had the experience. Here's one about this method: https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/abs/pii/S0748798318314677
