Every MRI room I’ve been in has had warning signs. Looks like the printer of this sign needs to update it…

At one hospital I was at previously, an X-ray tech had some extra time one night, so he decided to vacuum the MRI room. Tore up the inside of the machine, which had to be replaced (so was he).

Did they ask “Is your nurse going to bring a wheelchair into the exam room?”

It can suck the iron out of your blood like Magneto.

It probably cost more than he makes in a year.

A couple of family members and I totally agree with you. PAMF/Sutter Health has been excellent for us.

I worry about people who don’t realize they have medal. There are people who don’t even know who the president is.

They ask a whole bunch of questions about metal in and on your body
They sure do, when I had mine , several different people asked at different times before I entered the MRI room.
A changing room was down the hall. Just you in your undies and a hospital gown go into the MRI room.
Was this Charlie’s No Mess MRI and Wheel Balancing Center ?

That’s not an MRI safety flaw. That’s a training flaw.
Typical click baiting headline.

Yes, despite being on different sides of the body, the doctor thought it was an enlarged spleen...idiot.

100% non magnetic stainless is extremely expensive and scarce. I had to retire due to magnetic fields in high voltage systems which I maintained (pacemaker)I also ran fluid systems that had stainless steel magnets inside to capture and catch fine stainless steel particles. So yes....most stainless is still magnetic to a much lesser degree than ferrous metals. Surgical stainless should not be. (316 Stainless)
Another interesting phenomenon happens when you run 4,160 volt current phased between plates spaced about a foot apart with a candle and flame in the middle. When the circuit is complete the flame from the candle will bend to a 90 degree right angle due to the rearranging or exciting of the atoms in the air.

Gold and silver and other teeth fillings are not magnetic.

The trainee should be fired and or removed from the program.
