      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. To throw a stapler and an office chair into such a thing is truly a very rare moment.

    • @pet3590

      This is correct. Most of the cost of the MRI is for the maintainence materials and staff.

    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 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.

      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?"

      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.

    • @medexamtoolscom
      @medexamtoolscom 3 роки тому +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.

    • @medexamtoolscom

      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.

      I had huge metal fillings and had over a dozen MRIs.
      They say the amalgam is un effected by the magnet, just like the titanium cage that holds my back together.

      They told me that was impossible but it kept happening.

    • @medexamtoolscom
      @medexamtoolscom 3 роки тому +164

      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.

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.

      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.

    My dad used to be a respiratory therapist, and on the day his hospital was installing a new MRI (which at the time cost about $10M), he happened to be walking by radiology. About when he reached the closed door, there was the most horrific sound. The dude in there working on it left his whole open toolbox in there when he turned the mri on to test it. Yeah… no fixing that one. Scrap metal. I bet the dude had hearing damage from that one 😂

    I got a MRI done a few years back and was so confused as to why they had me take off my tiny titanium earrings- I knew they weren't magnetic, but they said to "just in case". This is why lol. I have more piercings now and I shudder to think of what could happen if they got yanked out of me like that lol

    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 work in hospital, and couple a years ago, a crew member of cleaning department went into an MRI room to clean.
    And people forgot to turn of the MRI scanner, or was still busy I can't remember 100%. But the whole cleaning machine was ripped out of the womans hands, and lifted 1.5 meters off the floor.
    Stuck on the MRI scanner.
