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.
Except people on the internet found the product it was and it clearly was advertised with a metal core on the packaging. The dude probably forgot it had a metal core. If it's a real story.
That's why they literally ask you 5 different times about piercings and hardware. It's like once on the phone beforehand, once when you arrive, once in the waiting room etc
And then you have to strip down and wear a surgical gown to make sure your clothes don't have any magnetic buttons or pins in them either. I had to have an MRI recently, they are VERY thorough about it.
@@jaycorbin5361 I literally asked the mri tech when they said I don’t have to take pants off (with metally-ish zipper off) like 10 times if they are sure it’s ok xD it didn’t wash me in the mri around tho.
Everyone's freaking out about how strong the MRI Machine is, meanwhile I'm wondering who manufactures an office chair that can support 2,000 lbs. of pressure with minimal damage
Good. Respect your MRI Machines. They're an invaluable tool for medical imaging but they can, have, and will fuck people and property up if not properly respected. Accidents happen, let's make sure the accidents aren't borne out of stupid mistakes.
I have a steel BB in embedded in my face and have had MRIs with no effect. Never even felt it tug or anything. It did worry me a bit the very first time, especially since the tech running the MRI hesitatingly said, "It'll probably be ok."
@ben smith Which is one of the (many) requirements for medical alloys I think. I mean, strong magnets don't just exist in MRI machines. And if you came too close to one, the magnet would basically slam into you full force.
@ben smith Though that's a small price to pay to avoid the risks. Not to mention that any metal or alloy that is magnetic would also be extremely unhealthy in other ways. Just magine a joint replacement rusting inside your body.
After watching this video, I can't BELIEVE that a hospital technician let me feel the strength of the magnet by letting me "tightly grip" the steel toe boot I came in with when I arrived for my MRI, and "walk towards the machine until I felt it, then immediately stop and back away, while still holding the boot very firmly until you get back to me ". 😳 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. 😲
aparently people who do cutting metal and soldering metals in workshop and dont wear the right protections or work for a verry long time can have tiny metal shards stuck in their eyes and those can be permanently blinded if they take an mri...
@@SpeedyGwen Eyes, throat, lung. Everywhere. Not pretty when they step into an MRI. It's why they ask about so much stuff before an MRI even if it annoys people.
@@predestined97thank you, I'm so tired of seeing this fucking comment. Adam has never been an engineer or scientist, he basically just plays a loose facsimile of one on television. Screwing around is screwing around, science is a frustrating, annoying, but ultimately rewarding process when you finally get the results you want after umpteen minute tweaks. People are always trying to make science more accessible, but we never think about the fact that maybe, just maybe, it was less fucking accessible back in the day so every Tom, Dick, and Jane who knew how a magnet worked as calling itself a scientist.
Infographics show made a video about this topic, a grandma has Metal inside her head.. she went into an mri and didn't told the doctors.. and... oof yes, she died..
I worked all my life with metal and had some injuries over those years with splinters and chips stuck in me. So when I had to go into one of these MRI scanners one time, I prayed there was nothing left in me that would possible be yanked right through my whole body. I was quiet happy once i was taken out of it uninjured.
the MRI team i worked with would have picked that up in the questionnaire and either sent you for an x-ray first to see, or just said 'no MRI for you', depending on if it was a medical or research MRI
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.
When you go in for an MRI, they ask you if you have any piercings, and they say if you do, there's an easy way to get them out, and a very painful way to get them out.
My friend worked around a MRI machine. Some teen lied about any piercings because they didn't want the parents to know. Well lets just say they confessed the hard way. No more nipple piercings for awhile.
I am an MRI technologist. I run a Siemens concerto 1.5 Tesla closed bore magnet. Trust me when I say …..they are VERY dangerous. 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.
@@greggyp647if its still in your knee, its probably not enough to cause any harm. When i had a mri scan i asked the tech if i should remove my stainless gauges and lebret. She said they're small enough. They should be fine. She was right.
I remember a news article recently where a guy died in the scanner when someone accidentally left an oxygen cylinder in the room while the MRI was used. Needless to say the guy was bloody pulp by the time it stopped bouncing around in there with him. 😬
@@sirus312 There are oxygen tanks that are made with non-magnetic materials for patients that need MRIs but need oxygen. It’s most likely someone forgot to check the label.

🫣 how did nobody put 2 and 2 together before building it all? That just.... man... someone f*cked up their job bad for that setup to exist for a while before being altered. If they didn't f*ck that's worse because that means nobody was tasked with ensuring the building layout was even functional, let alone optimal.
@@Secret_TakodachiEverything is a trivial matter when they tell you exactly what the important details are. I bet you could have figured out that on your own, Einstein.
@@marcossidoruk8033well, it shows at least that the person planning where to put the server room had no idea how computers work, which is incompetence in my opinion
@@shadesoftime Not at all, it is not at all obvious that a big magnet in a nearby room will affect computers in such a way. I have studied physics and I worked with computers my whole life and I wouldn't know why this happens. Again, when they tell you what the problem is beforehand everything is easy, approaching the problem from total ignorance it is easy to overlook subtle details. Furthermore, suggesting this is incompetence on behalf of the guy who made the server is utterly stupid since he doesn't decide the building layout and doesn't need to know what is happening in the other room, and the person who decides the layout doesn't need to have extensive knowledge about how computers work. Blaming this on anyone is just being an armchair expert douchebag, always complaining about other peoples mistakes while doing nothing.
@@marcossidoruk8033 well, the server has probably had some magnetic hdds in it, and that should automatically ring a bell that its a bad idea to place the server under such a powerful magnet
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.
brostenen Ball to the wall is an aviation term of putting the balls (throttles) to the wall (firewall) giving full throttle, it has nothing to do with testicles
leroy jenkins Yup... They want to make shure that the room is free from any material that can be magnetised. And they need to clean the room, and reset the computers, and have the right staff that are trained in operation, and get any medical journals and so on. Finally. They want to make shure that your prince albert piercing is not made out of any material that reacts to magnets. 😎
I remember a story about a metal worker/welder who had his eyeball permanently scrambled after getting into an MRI machine. Apparently some small metal fragments did get stuck in his eye by the nature of his work...
I'm a machinist and when I had to get an MRI, I was required to get x-rays beforehand to make sure I didn't have any embedded steel in me. I had gotten a sliver of mild steel in my eye from a grinding belt a decade or so prior, so wanted to confirm it had been completely removed. Great, now my eye hurts...
I've had at least 9 MRIs in my lifetime and the very last time the assistants were preoccupied and didn't mention that if I had a belt on I should remove it along with any other metal objects. 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.
I remember that guy which came with a buttplug to do a MRI. The toy was advertised as 100% silicone but actually had a metal core. The thing perforated his bowels and entered the chest cavity at the speed of sound. He survived with serious injuries and wanted to sue the sex toy company for false advertisement.
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.
The magnet is about to be decommissioned-not in use anymore. They were getting some enjoyment (and some interesting data) from it before it was scrapped and replaced.
just back from the mri and had to read the warning sheet. the very first scene in my head was the one with house and the guy in the tube with a bullet in his head =D
I saw the aftermath of when a maintenance person took a floor buffer into the MRI room. It was devastating. Not only do you lose the machine but the hundreds of thousands of dollars of coolant that was in it.
@@username4441 Your understanding is incomplete. The magnet is running 24/7 because superconductors aren't easy to switch off and on again. The sensing parts and computers may be "not running" after hours, but the magnet is still a magnet.
@@username4441 imagine reading something that makes perfect sense and using your own lack of knowledge to tell them it makes no sense. But also. Good on you for admitting it. Never doubt information coming from a topic you know nothing about.. only verify, never doubt.
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. I did notice that my fillings tended to fall apart after an MRI. They told me that was impossible but it kept happening.
@@1978garfield They are wrong. Dentists are dodgy fuckers and the amalgam could easily have metals it shouldn't do in it, there's thousands if not millions of stories you can read of dentists doing sketchy practices like this.

Tokehdareefa 2000 lbs of force on fabric straps and ghetto-rigged hooks all held together by a frame that looks like it was made by a high school shop student. Had anything snapped, everyone would have been dead.
Had my first MRI a few years ago for a frozen shoulder. One of the strangest experiences I've ever been involved with. Absolutely bizarre sounds throughout. I really felt like I was in a trans-dimensional spaceship.
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.
The thing is, the magnets inside the MRI machine are being pulled towards the chair just as hard as the chair was being pulled towards the magnet, with around 2000 lbs of force. That is one tough machine
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.
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.
I had a friend who worked on these things, and she told me about one hospital she went to where somebody walked past the open door of the MRI unit with a steel trolley.. It hit the MRI so hard, they had to get a winch attached to the door frame to take it off. In case you're wondering, no, they can't just "switch it off". It takes time for it to wind down, and time to ramp it up again, all time when they can't use the machine to scan patients.
@@kingol4801 Yes, as I said, it has to be ramped down, then ramped back up again, during which time it can't be used for what it was designed for. In the UK, that means helping treat sick people, in the USA, making money.....;-)

1. Almost all implanted medical devices (pacemaker/IED/screws etc) are made out of alloys that are non-magnetic and thus safe for MRI 2. It's VERY rare to do acute MRIs on incapacitated people. CT is the radiology of choice (which is non-magnetic)

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: Experiment time stamp: ua-cam.com/video/IVsWTkD2M6Q/v-deo.html Explanation time stamp: ua-cam.com/video/IVsWTkD2M6Q/v-deo.html A special thanks to Braniac75 for the videos.

Brian Hawkins that's what I mean, the magnetic pull isn't very strong where that fuckin chain is, when it lets go it's going to come back and take someone's jaw off
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. Machine weights around 60-100 kilo's
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 😂
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
I was just in a hospital 2 days ago and the guy in the next room said he had an ankle monitor. The nurse says good thing you told us cause one guy did not mention he had one and his ankle got burned by the machine. So makes me wonder why they dont check themselves before we approach the machine.
@Dami Fly I listen to those compilations and to the original comment (aka beth) I say make one with wings and wheels and watch it go yeet into the air when it gets flung towards a car XD
I've installed the electrical systems for several MRIs, and depending on the Tesla rating of the magnet, anything ferrous is fair game. A folding fiberglass stepladder has 8 little screws in the bottom of its feet, to hold the rubber pads on and those alone can be pulled towards the magnet, once it's commissioned
Hehe, i was installing a pneumatic post in one hospital. We had our fan room with all diverters directly under the MRI machine. It was fun to stick wrenches to a ceiling while mounting pipes there;) I still have somewhere a photo of couple wrenches and screws hanging straight down in one line just stuck to the ceiling :D BTW, we had to move one of the diverters to a different spot, because it wouldn't work.
@@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.
When it said "Your head here?" after seeing the stapler bounced around in there, it legit made me think that a human head would get tossed in and start bouncing around.
I remember my brother telling me about the various "tests" people would do on MRI machines like this (he was part of an engineering team for GE in their medical equipment group) and how I think someone had something in their pocket and was standing close to one of these as it was being powered up (luckily he was wearing a lab-style coat so the pocket was open basically but it surprised the heck out of everyone). He said with some of the "retired" machines (that were being either rebuilt or scrapped) people would screw around throwing things into the machine was it was powered on.
Did they throw Burt the weird not quite okay in the head sorta guy with old school steel medical plates in his head into the machine?! 😮 Cause people wouls have paid to see that clip.... Just saying! 😂
Geeze. I guess it's fine for ones that are decommissioned. Though I'd say that's still absolutely stupid and could get you fired. I'll just stick to the coil winding area for now.
it's so frightening to think about the fact that when i had my most recent FMRI the nurse let me enter with a nose ring and a belt. they didnt ask me to remove it, the metal detector at the threshold of the door was broken. i just had the thought last second to pull down my mask and ask if i needed to remove my nose ring then she noticed the belt.
Piercing usually use non magnetic metal such as stainless steel, titanium or silver mainly because they are also corrosion resistant but it would have saved your nose anyway.
Something most people don’t understand is the magnet is always on. Even when they aren’t doing an MRI. If they have to shutoff the magnet off it costs at least $40,000 to go through the process to turn it back on.

@ben smith Which is one of the (many) requirements for medical alloys I think. I mean, strong magnets don't just exist in MRI machines. And if you came too close to one, the magnet would basically slam into you full force.
@ben smith Though that's a small price to pay to avoid the risks.
Not to mention that any metal or alloy that is magnetic would also be extremely unhealthy in other ways.

I was quiet happy once i was taken out of it uninjured.
It's a good idea to do an X-ray before hand to confirm if you do or do not have any metal embedded in you

@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?"

Furthermore, suggesting this is incompetence on behalf of the guy who made the server is utterly stupid since he doesn't decide the building layout and doesn't need to know what is happening in the other room, and the person who decides the layout doesn't need to have extensive knowledge about how computers work.

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.

Great, now my eye hurts...

I've had at least 9 MRIs in my lifetime and the very last time the assistants were preoccupied and didn't mention that if I had a belt on I should remove it along with any other metal objects. 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.

This test is officially called "Well, somebody's gotta know how strong these magnets are."
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.

life hack: eat coins before you get an MRI to have a guaranteed fun time
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.
You must be fun at parties

Ya gotta give some credit to that cameraman; Holding back againsed the force while filming an entertaining video.
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.
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.

i work at a "large" hospital, i heard of a patient that screamed that he felt like he was burning, no medical implants or anything could be found, turned out he was a welder with a million tiny pieces of metal in his skin from all the years of welding.
That prolly common with machinist too. Hope he was ok afterward!
Me: gets an MRI
The iron in my blood: *LUDICROUS SPEED*
*DEJA VU*
*I'VE BEEN IN THIS BLOOD STREAM BEFORE!*
Heart +100 Speed
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:

A special thanks to Braniac75 for the videos.
I didn't even think about that when I got an mri lmao
@Danny DNA How is learning something that esoteric *not* fun? Unless, of course, one is squeamish at the sight of a 5 gallon bucket of blood being played with...
hey guys, this single nylon web strap is holding 1800 lbs! let's stand right next to it!
I dunno about that. The energy stored in the elasticity of that strap could definitely snap it back.
Brian Hawkins that's what I mean, the magnetic pull isn't very strong where that fuckin chain is, when it lets go it's going to come back and take someone's jaw off
I'd fear the steel cable whipping back at near trans-sonic speeds towards everyone more xD
The son of a friend of my father, was killed when a towing strap broke, the shackle went through a car (steel door) and took a part of his head off.
shatteredsquare haha thats exactly what i commented...one of them could have easely gotten his arm riped off!!!
Imagine being too embarrassed to tell them about a genital piercing 😂
Get your whole jacobs ladder ripped out
Free sterilizarion
Poercings are non magnetic. But they'll probably be hot from Fuko currents.
@@AxeAR stop
If was a dick ring.. it’d be both a cheap and expensive circumcision... still a ripoff.
I'm going to eat a bunch of steel ball bearings before my next MRI, as a prank
a prank on yourself?
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.
Machine weights around 60-100 kilo's
+666JL666 I bet she freaked out
+666JL666 most scanners use superconducting magnets, which are *always* on mri-q.com/is-field-ever-turned-off.html
+Collin Bru I bet Hospital Management freaked out too!
+666JL666 she's lucky she didn't have any fillings or something lol
the magnet is ALWAYS on.
Imagine walking in there with a chastity cage
Ow
Its like that meme where the guy ate the coins and took an mri
It's a Jackass episode
Say goodbye to your pp privileges
Now imagine having a glans piercing.
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 😂
Could you imagine the phone call to the boss for that one? "Hey remember how we said no more screw ups? We're gonna have to start that tomorrow, hoss"
@@TheVanillaGorilla913 lol you're not kidding! Would've loved to have heard that convo! Happy holidays! 💚🕊🙏
That's a mistake you only make once.
no fixing what? The toolbox? Why would he have hearing damage?
@@joeskis No fixing the MRI, probably, and he imply that the sound was extremely loud
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
Atleast now we know a chair like that can hold a 1 ton person on it.
"The magnet takes an immediate dislike to a stapler, disintegrating it."
...Nuh uh?
I hope they were able to rebuild the stapler
Have you seen my stapler? It was a Boston not the swing line.
They should've just thrown in a pack of broken up staples with a fruit hanging in the middle
@@Defender78 we can. We have the technology.
@Daniel lieberman yeah you know what, a stapler is literally just a grenade lol
Throw a metal ball bearing into it.
Turn it on
Bearing spins in circles so fast it invents time travel

My uncle did this
I was just in a hospital 2 days ago and the guy in the next room said he had an ankle monitor. The nurse says good thing you told us cause one guy did not mention he had one and his ankle got burned by the machine. So makes me wonder why they dont check themselves before we approach the machine.
“Thats about the same weight as a car. This is why the MRI magnet doesn’t have wheels”
Then .make. one. With wheels.
and launch it into your foes
@Dami Fly i will neither deny or deny this accusation.
@Dami Fly I listen to those compilations and to the original comment (aka beth) I say make one with wings and wheels and watch it go yeet into the air when it gets flung towards a car XD
@@unicornqueen268 ^^THIS
That's not what the onscreen text said
I've installed the electrical systems for several MRIs, and depending on the Tesla rating of the magnet, anything ferrous is fair game. A folding fiberglass stepladder has 8 little screws in the bottom of its feet, to hold the rubber pads on and those alone can be pulled towards the magnet, once it's commissioned
Hehe, i was installing a pneumatic post in one hospital. We had our fan room with all diverters directly under the MRI machine. It was fun to stick wrenches to a ceiling while mounting pipes there;) I still have somewhere a photo of couple wrenches and screws hanging straight down in one line just stuck to the ceiling :D
BTW, we had to move one of the diverters to a different spot, because it wouldn't work.
Thats cool
@@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.
When it said "Your head here?" after seeing the stapler bounced around in there, it legit made me think that a human head would get tossed in and start bouncing around.
Glad to see this responsible use of very expensive equipment!
Thankfully they were throwing that machine away😅
I remember my brother telling me about the various "tests" people would do on MRI machines like this (he was part of an engineering team for GE in their medical equipment group) and how I think someone had something in their pocket and was standing close to one of these as it was being powered up (luckily he was wearing a lab-style coat so the pocket was open basically but it surprised the heck out of everyone). He said with some of the "retired" machines (that were being either rebuilt or scrapped) people would screw around throwing things into the machine was it was powered on.
Did they throw Burt the weird not quite okay in the head sorta guy with old school steel medical plates in his head into the machine?! 😮
Cause people wouls have paid to see that clip....
Just saying!
😂
Geeze. I guess it's fine for ones that are decommissioned. Though I'd say that's still absolutely stupid and could get you fired. I'll just stick to the coil winding area for now.
it's so frightening to think about the fact that when i had my most recent FMRI the nurse let me enter with a nose ring and a belt. they didnt ask me to remove it, the metal detector at the threshold of the door was broken. i just had the thought last second to pull down my mask and ask if i needed to remove my nose ring then she noticed the belt.
Holy hell, you're lucky your nose is in tact.
Piercing usually use non magnetic metal such as stainless steel, titanium or silver mainly because they are also corrosion resistant but it would have saved your nose anyway.
A nose ring is one thing, imagine forgetting to remove your prince Albert...
i've been in a 1.5T for fMRI with nipple and belly piercings. As long as they are not steel, the worst they'll do is heat up if they are rings
Something most people don’t understand is the magnet is always on. Even when they aren’t doing an MRI. If they have to shutoff the magnet off it costs at least $40,000 to go through the process to turn it back on.
Hospital: Hey government can I have some money for an MRI scanner?
Government: to do important scans to save people’s lives?
Hospital: yessss
Government: ok
Hospital: *actually throws chair at MRI machine like a boss*
It’s chair magnet time
you made my day bruh 😂
it~s masturbating on a chair to a magnet time
I've got balls of steel so I guess I'm screwed.
OBAMAS WATCHING ME lol
MAGA
Vote best comment here
Mr. trump??? Is that u??? Lol
steel isn't magnetic
When medical students get drunk
Jona Batna Actually only the technologist is licensed to operate the MRI...
But the technologist must have friends I guess, or are they robots who operate other machines?

Guy 1: *trying to focus both eyes* Hey, wanna measure how strong this giga magnet pulls my chair?
Guy 2: *spis whiskey* whats a chairr?
Guy 1: Lets do it!
...there was an old story I heard from a coworker that said he can't get MRI's. He's a union welder and says the metal dust from grinding, etc, has built up around his eye sockets..not sure if there's any truth to that or not, but 🤷♂️
It's true
People get messed up from them real bad
Just about 2 weeks ago a person in Mumbai hospital dead due to MRI machine. He went to to MRI room with a oxygen cylinder (MRI machine was on)
Shubham Dhanak yeah i was gonna mention the same.... that was really tragic but i think it's not Mumbai.. it's Bangalore.
It's really terrific when the patient was his mother and she saw her son died for such negligence of medicalassistants.
Who even let the idiot go into the room
Kitta12320 i won't say him an idiot ...it wasn't his fault to begin with. The assistants let him go ...saying nothing will happen trust us. That guy even asked if it's okay or not to enter the room.
Satr6 Satr6 the incident happened in Mumbai,Nair hospital
Satr6 Satr6 i think u mean terrible,otherwise you're just a mean person man!
