For the unit itself, then there's transportation of the unit, liquid helium transport and filling, installation of the unit, remodeling of the space its put in, electricity bills, maintenance and upkeep, insurance, etc. Together, $4M is a very low estimate.

Is that going to be a problem?” The nurse looked unsure, appeared to google something, and then said it should be fine. “But if you start to feel your chest moving upwards, tell us right away.” Titanium is not magnetic, so she was fine, but it wasn’t the most reassuring conversation. 😂

Funny to imagine... but holy hell no!!!

This is not a trivial task. Assuming everything goes smoothly (often it does not), the whole process takes about 24 - 36 hours. And costs a butt-ton of money in electricity and some consumables. Not to mention with an MRI time is money; when you pay several million for a machine that you basically never turn off, you try to get as much use in terms of paying customers as you can out of it, 24/7.

[@medexamtoolscom]

Actually, no, that will do almost nothing at all, because almost all coins are nonmagnetic. The only exceptions I know of are the world war 2 steel pennies from the US, and the old canadian quarters when they made them out of almost pure nickel, which even then is only a few percent as magnetic as iron, so it wouldn't experience much force. But US nickels are made out of an alloy of mostly copper and a small enough proportion of nickel that it is not magnetic at all, and quarters and dimes are just that alloy sandwiched together with pure copper, and of course pennies are copper with a few percent of zinc before 1982 and since 1982 they are copper plated zinc. Go ahead and see for yourself how many different kinds of coins you can get to be affected by a magnet. Prepare to be disappointed.

Also, if you eat even as few as 10 pennies, you will probably die of zinc poisoning, since zinc very rapidly dissolves in stomach acid. For that matter, iron dissolves in stomach acid too, so even if you did eat world war 2 pennies, they probably would not be metal that would be attracted to a magnet for long but soon become iron chloride, which is also toxic but not quite as bad as zinc, but probably 30 of them would kill you.

It also would depend on how perfect the copper plating is in the regular post 1982 pennies, if there were no scratches in it, then it would just be a copper surface and it would not dissolve in stomach acid so you would not be poisoned by them at least.

Back in the day there was folklore about a couple engineers who didn't like some salesman. They were all near the MRI machine that the company sold, and the salesman was talking down to the engineers like he always did. Then in a moment of inspiration one engineer said "did you know it's impossible to throw your wallet through this machine?" The salesman could never pass up a challenge so he threw his wallet through the machine. Knowing what was happening the other engineers pretended it was amazing that the salesman had the skill to do it... that they'd never seen that before. So he repeated a couple times. This was before smart phones, when people used credit cards with mag stripes.

Fun Fact: The hemoglobin (the molecule that makes blood work as it does) is actually repelled by strong magnetic fields [conditional state]. This is dependent on whether the blood is oxygenated or not. Deoxygenated hemoglobin has four unpaired electrons and is paramagnetic (weak attraction). While oxygenated hemoglobin has no unpaired electrons and makes it diamagnetic and as a result, makes it repelled by the magnet. the overall amounts of oxy to de-oxy hemoglobin varies, but with all things operating correctly and the body at rest, it averages about 96-99% Oxyhemoglobin for arterial blood and about 60-80% Oxyhemoglobin for venous blood with proportional amounts about 1-4% Deoxyhemoglobin and about 20-40% Deoxyhemoglobin, respectively to its counterpart relative to location. In short: not enough of your blood has magnetic attraction to make any significant difference.

I think beyond a certain range the force drops off dramatically. If he had taken a step or two towards the machine that would have been the end of his camera though.

[@medexamtoolscom]

Actually, unlike most things which decrease by the inverse square law, magnetic fields decrease with the inverse CUBE of the distance, so it would actually drop off VERY fast with distance. The cameraman probably feels just about no force at all just by being 10 feet away. He'd better not take a few steps closer though. Why is it the inverse cube, you ask? Because magnetic fields are always dipoles, in other words a south and north pole together, and the further you are away from it, the more those two cancel each other out, whereas other forces like gravity or a static electric charge, are monopolar. It's rather like tidal force in other words, in many ways, for instance the force it exerts on a metal object is in proportion not just to the quantity of magnetic substance in it but the physical size of the object.

@@ogi22 that's interesting. Everywhere I've installed one, it's been on the ground floor or at least slab on ground. When one happens to be installed slab on deck, what rules are set, as far as the public goes for keeping people out of the area? It's not something you flip on and off when the office closes.

Interesting experiment. That makes it so much clearer to me how crucial it is to check for any magnetic metals inside someone's body before sticking them into these. Damn. I wonder how much pull is on a single paperclip. Just to show how much pull is on screw or staple sized objects. That would really bring it home
