How dangerous are magnetic items near an MRI magnet?

  • UPDATE: Questions about why we were doing what we were doing? Please see the FAQ under "MRI magnet quench: the movie." That video is also entertaining, btw.
    Fun, games and safety implications with a 4 tesla (T) MRI magnet that was about to be decommissioned. Note how magnetic objects let loose tend to oscillate along the magnet bore. That's because the peak magnetic field gradients are at either end (near the magnet face), causing peak acceleration as the object enters, followed by progressively damped changes of direction. See practiCalfMRI.blogspot.com for more information.

    My sister went to have an MRI once and noticed the sign warning not to bring metals into the room. She got nervous and told the tech, “I have a titanium bar in my chest. 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. 😂

    I just read an interesting story recently about someone who entered an MRI machine with a buttplug and nearly died. The person thought the toy was just silicone but it turns out it had a metal core they were unaware of so when they went in the buttplug was immediately rocketed up into and through their colon into their thoracic cavity. The words 'anal railgun' were used to describe this horrific event. The injuries were quite traumatic but they survived somehow.

      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.

    I was curious about the magnet, and he actually let me do this... Now I COMPLETELY understand why you need an x-ray of your face area when you work with metal for a living. I couldn't even imagine how it would feel to have a tiny piece of previously unknown embedded metal ripped through your eyeball. 😲

    been in a couple of these throughout my life and one notable one that scared me half to death was I got my Xray in my clothes (I wore some basketball shorts and a t-shirt nothing special) which had no metal because obviously, you cant wear metal to an MRI as they warn you how dangerous it can be. so I get to the MRI room and as I'm walking in my nurse immediately stops me and ask if I have had any surgery or metal implants, I tell her no and she shows me the photos of my Xray, and there were multiple metal bars that were showing up. Turns out I had 2 Sewing needles that were inside the fabric of my shirt near my stomach that I didn't notice. needless to say that could have ended pretty badly if the magnet was under my stomach with those things on top.

    One of our rad techs has a glasses case (has a very thin metal liner) wrapped in a pool noodle which is wrapped in duct tape. During orientation he’ll demonstrate by standing at the doorway, toss the case into the room, it gets sucked in, bounces around like hell for a few seconds then launches back out, if it bounces off a wall back towards the mri it’ll just repeat the process. It’s not always to way it pulls stuff into the magnet that is scary (very scary if you are a patient) but the way it can chuck very heavy objects back out.

    I worked on MRI scanners years ago. They were only 1.5T magnets, but I saw two incidents that happened when someone was not trained properly. The first one was in Arkansas where a janitor went in the magnet room at night with a floor buffer to do the floor. He got near the magnet and the floor buffer was pulled off the floor and into the bore. But the worst I saw was at the factory. They had all the magnets set up in separate bays to assemble the parts and test before delivery. Someone rolling a pallet jack got a little too close to the magnet and it pulled it right off the floor and into the bore. It's hard to believe how much magnetic force there is on one of these until you experience it yourself.

    life hack: eat coins before you get an MRI to have a guaranteed fun time

    • @medexamtoolsdotcom
      @medexamtoolsdotcom Před 2 lety +462

      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.

    • @medexamtoolsdotcom
      @medexamtoolsdotcom Před 2 lety +132

      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.

    • @medexamtoolsdotcom
      @medexamtoolsdotcom Před 2 lety +138

      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.

      Funny to imagine... but holy hell no!!! Part of why they are so paranoid about metal objects is not just patient safety, but the fact that it disrupts a very carefully calibrated set of rotating fields and you have to shut down and re-start the system before using it again.
      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.

    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.

I made the mistake of going into the room with a pair of hemostats in my upper scrub pocket. I got too close and it snatched those things out of my pocket and they slammed against the machine casing. Scared me to death and I had a really really hard time prying them off. Imagine if I accidentally wheeled an oxygen tank attached to a wheelchair into the room.

      @Slavicplayer251 I was 16 years old in 1974 and a piece of hardened iron shrapnel entered my leg just above my knee cap. An x-ray the next day showed the piece was underneath my kneecap. For some reason the doctors decided to leave it there even though it was pretty good-sized, about a quarter the size of my little finger nail. Around 1992, I herniated a disc and went for an MRI. Nobody asked at that time if I had any metal in my body. Around 2015, I went to see an orthopedist about arthritis in my knee and he commented, "Do you know that you have a piece of metal in your knee?" By this time it was on the inside Bend of the knee having migrated through that knee knuckle. It was there at that time big enough to show up on the X-ray he had taken.

They were sliding me into the machine when I felt like my pants were going to be pulled off. I hollered to the person running the machine and they stopped it and I removed my belt. I suppose they could have gotten into trouble over that incident but it was actually kind of a cool experience. I wasn't injured in any way and I DID keep my pants on. And were only talking about a 2" x 2" buckle, good thing I'm not a Texan.

      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.
      But dont take my word for it, watch this guy do a magnetic field experiment:
