Just wow.

In the US, they’ve started requiring x-rays before you can get an MRI.

This guy likely died of blunt force trauma as he sped toward the tunnel.

[Steely Tom]

Steel objects can reach speeds of hundreds of miles per hour as they fly into an MRI solenoid. It happens literally in the blink of an eye.

I want to know more about the Ward Boy.
I think it was a Ward Boy plot and he should be subject to high level scrutiny.

“Relatives should ideally not be allowed inside the MRI room. The ward boy or doctor should have also told the family not to take the oxygen cylinder close to the machine,” Agawane said.

Ya think?

[Cowboy Bob]

Can a girl be a “Ward Boy?”

I want to know more about the Ward Boy.

And where was Batman???

[AppyPappy]

I believe Batman had a Ward.

For real?????

I don’t understand how this happened.....

[Moonman62]

A postmortem at J J Hospital indicated that Maru died due to pneumothorax, a condition where excessive air enters the lung pockets. “Excessive quantity of oxygen entered his body from the cylinder, which is also harmful. He seemed to have died instantly because of that.

...

I think he died from excess pressure, not too much oxygen.

Can a girl be a “Ward Boy?”

If she identifies as one.

an MRI is essentially a big electro-magnet. Holding onto a steel tank would be a bad thing - esp. if your body was between the tank & the MRI...

[COBOL2Java]

I don’t understand how this happened.....

1. MRI procedures should occur in strictly controlled environments; they ought not be a family affair
2. Let Batman do the MRI - not Robin

[Yaelle]

Here they ask if you have even a bobby pin in your hair. They are so overcautious.

[JZelle]

Or a Key Grip.

3rd world, shithole hospital. Can’t get any clearer than that...

[nickcarraway]

What about the metal min tattoos?

Now, now, I'm sure Dick Durbin would be more than happy to have his MRI done there.

Mwahahaha...

I think "Mythbusters" demonstrated that those are safe in the MRI. They put some on a pig carcass and ran it through an MRI. No explosion or damage to the pig.
