My dad used to work in famous cancer center, and when they would have the chance, or needed to work on MRIs, a few of the facilities guys would tie paperclips or ballpoint pens to cord, and see who could get it the farthest down the tube without getting it stuck to the side. Then it would take 2 or 3 of them to pull the clip off. Also, they would occasionally get a stupid nurse or tech that would bring a patient in in a metal wheel chair, and it would collapse on them and pull them to the machine, so that would take a few people to pull off and spread to get the patient out.

For the people saying it's an electromagnet, it IS, but turning it off is only an absolute last resort. quenching the MRI magnet is the LAST thing you want to do. It will very quickly boil off all the liquid helium that's keeping the magnet super conductive and shoot 100+ liters of helium out of the top of the magnet vent. This event can be destructive to the machine and helium is exceedingly rare and expensive these days.

Definitely not a comforting story before being put into that machine for over an hour! I went in with my aunt when she had an MRI done a few years ago.

I've had over 10 full MRIs, hours long each time. The reason isn't the magnetic conductivity. It's to not blur the image. Most metals are fine, but blurred images aren't. Source: my MRI tech I've done them with multiple facial (tongue included) piercings on and there's absolutely no problem at all. Anything you feel is purely placebo and most likely heat eminating from the very, very powerful machine (1.5-3 t as in Tesla coils worth of power) It could also be due to the fact there's not much sensory stimulation going on, therefore you are more aware of things happening in your body.

Most commonly, the metal used in surgical reparations is titanium. It's a corrosion resistant metal that is also paramagnetic. If your ankle plate, screws, rod etc. were meant to be removed it was probably made of cobalt-chromium. Cobalt although magnetic by itself, loses its magnetism when alloyed with chromium, which also makes it highly corrosion resistant. These metals are safe for MRIs and have been tested.

Outside of the X-ray, perhaps no other medical examination is as well known or as safe as the magnetic resonance imaging test, which is conducted eight million times a year in the United States on patients ranging from people with brain tumors to famous athletes with knee injuries. But today, officials at the Westchester Medical Center announced that something went horribly wrong on Friday with an M.R.I. test on a boy, 6, who had just undergone surgery. Even though no metal objects are supposed to be in the testing area, because they will be pulled toward the 10-ton machine by its powerful electromagnet, a metal oxygen tank somehow made it into the examination room. The tank, about the size of a fire extinguisher, became magnetized, then flew through the air at 20 to 30 feet per second and fractured the boy's skull. The boy died on Sunday. And today, an autopsy conducted by the Westchester County Medical Examiner's office confirmed that he had died of blunt force trauma, severe hemorrhaging and a contusion to the brain. The hospital and the State Department of Health are investigating, and the Westchester District Attorney's office is also reviewing the case.

I worked in a metal fabrication shop, my pants were always covered in steel dust. I went for an MRI after work not thinking about it. After the MRI my pants were never cleaner. Couldn't have been good for the machine

All apologies to the nurse that did the MRI on me she had to stop it when I said I might have had metal shards in my eye a long time ago... kind of flipped out on her

The MRI machine has a superconducting magnet in it, this magnet is constantly running, so from when it gets commissioned up to decommission. So even if it’s not scanning it can still have consequences. (To give you an idea, the superconducting magnet is about 100 times stronger that a fridge magnet.)

How about turning off the machine? Cutting the power off?

@@TheBlaert respectfully it just doesn't pull that strongly. Even the strongest commercially available 3 tesla magnets. Magnetic attractive force is governed by the size/weight of the ferromagnetic object. There just aren't enough atoms to create enough to force to remove small metal shards from your hands.

@@Dji00 well believe it or not it happened. Granted they weren't pulled right out of my hands but you could clearly see them as tiny black dots after the mri.

I’ve heard they’re so strong that if you’ve had a previous surgery and had metal placed in your body that it can literally rip it out of you. Pretty sure I heard something about some dudes pacemaker or something like that being ripped through his chest cavity

@lucariolps2774 ай бұрын
Mris cannot be "shut down" in this way. The magnets are always on to a degree. Even without power. The only way to get the field very weak is by quenching the mri. Which basically means you vent the Helium coolant into the atmosphere. That costs a shit load of money to repair and the machine is out of order for weeks to months. So. The emergency shut down Button does exist. But it's only to be used In cases were life and limb are at stake. Which isn't the case here.

WRONG. No reason to do that. Have the service guys ramp it down remove the object ramp it up and shim it.
