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.

I know this comment was a joke, but this was probably a decommissioned MRI that they were having fun with.
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. 😂
"if you start to feel your chest moving upwards..." the words alone would scare the life out of me.
Yo, titanium is diamagnetic 🤣🤣
That would terrify me
They should‘ve consulted the doctor because I would have not stepped into that machine after that
my jaw is made mostly out of titanium and i get tons of mris- but my doctors definitely made sure to confirm that it was okay first! 😂
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.
I just heard that on the radio the other day. The Railgun reference reminded me. Sounds like it did a lot of damage.
Nice ChubbyEmu viewer
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.
were they using the wayback machine to check the product page before the incident happened?

Would just like to thank you guys for recording one of those extremely rare moments when you can throw a stapler into a 4 million dollar machine.
MRI prices are only around $150,000-$500,000.
"only"
PetersaberHD "around"
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.
This is correct. Most of the cost of the MRI is for the maintainence materials and staff.

well mate as long as you don’t put a wrench in the works it should be fine
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.

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. 😲
God, just the thought of that is insane.
@@graysonrogers-barnes6302 It SURE is... 😳 OUCH! 🤕
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.
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.
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
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

How about a water balloon?
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.
Cool! But "pounds"? LOL!
@@eclecticmagpie what?
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. 😬
Got to be honest, that sounds pretty brutal, it actually reminds me of the zero point energy gun in half life 2.

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.
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

Both the T-800 and the 850 are composed of non-ferrous metals, they would be unaffected
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.
well the permanent magnet ones are weak so the pallet jack would have been like 30 cm removed and @ the optimal dipole, aren't most mri electromagnets thus the cooling?

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.

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.
And only time in history that it is totally justified. This will literally rip them off, wherever it is pierced
@@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.

This test is officially called "Well, somebody's gotta know how strong these magnets are."
"Any fillings or piercings?" "Any office chairs or wrenches?"
Imagine a ankle with screws in it
@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.
No but I lost my stapler after a party in college. Am I still safe?
@Ben72 But under a strong enough magnetic field, your hips and knees could become permanently magnetized. Think of the utility!

Someone had a butt plug in while they took an mri. Turns out it had a metallic core and shot up straight into them.
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.
The fact that people have died because magnetic objects were let into the room makes me glad they're so thorough in preventing it. Terrifyingly powerful.
makes you wonder why they don't have an airport style portal scanner to enter the room through to reduce the risk to both the people and the equipment. Yes, i know they will bring people in on chairs etc. but for staff and ambulant patients it would be a valuable preventative measure.
@@dominantmale89 law doesn’t require that unfortunately and owners don’t want to spend money, they are greedy, they don’t care about you life
@@besmart2350 hospitals job is litterally yo care about your life. Also the cost of these things is so absurd that a metal detector wouldn't even register on the bill. They need special rooms to be made with technology to actively cancel outside magnetic interference, without it something as seemingly insignificant as a train a mile away could affect readings, and even with it a metal detector could definitely affect readings if it was anywhere close.
There's a man in Brazil that walked into a MRI room with a revolver on his waist. The gun fired in him and he die a couple of days ago. It happened this month if I'm not mistaken

@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.

I once wheeled a nitrogen cylinder rather too close to the magnet of an NMR machine for comfort. Luckily it didn't get pulled onto the magnet but I got a ticking off from one of the operators about the dangers of doing this. Apparently once pulled on, it would have necessitated powering down the magnet to get it off and put it out of action for some time.
Always wondered what would happen if someone went in for a scan and unknowingly had some surgical instrument accidentally left in them from a prior operation.

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
Wow, that's insane!
So this is what office staff does when there are no patients!
Papa Smurf lol 😂😂
This device was about to be disposed of.
They are probably doing it even when there are patients.
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.
I've accidentally left my steel belly button ring in once and nothing at all happened thank God I wonder why though
I love how that Stapler went full Gmod inside the magnet 😂
weld tool
this proves the real world is a simulation. the stapler glitched
Love it! Industrial trash compactors and giant magnets get my undivided attention.
doctor: "you dont have any metal objects on you do you?"
me forgetting my metal teeth fillings : "nah doc lets do this"
o w
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.
I used braces and went into a MRI multiple times. Nothing ever happened, but this video is scary anyway
2:14
@@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. They are not doctors, they are just businessmen that do not care about your well-being.
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.
😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
that could have been bad if he had a coin in his wallet. er, i mean, cooler.
I had a MRI a few weeks ago and unlike any others I'd had they weren't fussed about my belt, metal in my zip and so on. It was very odd
...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
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.
The mri machine was too excited to see you
“Something other than me tried to take my pants off. Above average day.”
The ending 🤣🤣🤣
That happened to me, only thing that happened was the buckle vibrated. Most fun I ever had in an MRI machine.
Bro how could you be on your 9th MRI and still not know to get rid of all metals lol
What's this? A video showing exactly what the title and thumbnail suggests? Thanks for not being clickbait.
Webberjo ikr
Exactly.
Webberjo this was posted before youtube contracted cancer
+Big frank yeah
Another world wonder.
Came here after the idf entered al shifa hospital and showed pile of weapons staked behind the MRI machine, loooool
It is possible if the mri was quenched. So the Helium was released. Then the magnetic field is basically gone.
This makes me think of the Stargate SG-1 episode "A Matter of Time" when the gate is connected to a black hole and they're trying to get a bomb sucked into the gate to stop the gravitational pull.
This is equal parts informative, interesting, and horrifying
Peace through power.
guy threw the stapler with no protection
KANE LIVES
This also explains the reason why there's only plastic stuff inside the MRI room
Peace through power.
This is when you tell the doctor about that secret metal implant you got as a dare when you were a kid
If it's magnetic material the spot would get infected very soon. Metal implants are nearly always titanium, which isn't magnetic.
Klaufmann maybe if you coat it in titanium or gold or some other non magnetic material
MRI is extremely powerful so it might attract titanium since its paramagnetic.
There is no such thing as non magnetic
What kind of secret metal implants do kids have access to?
I've had a brain tumor before and i have to do MRI once or twice a year. I found this video very interesting since i didn't know how much damage one of these could cause to metal
Likely the boss didn't know. I hope you did not get caught. Great video.
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:

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...
Welcome back everyone, I see we meet here again after 10 years
Yes
Yes, thank you
Yes
XD
Met you after 3months.
I've built this things before. The coils on them are huge and heavy! The preparation involved is immense when making one. I've been them from the fibre glass shell to the final product. Mental process
That was like a scene out of Stargate SG-1 - A Matter of Time, when they opened the gate to a world near a black hole.
Looks like a physics glitch in video games
Unit987654321 hopefully they will fix it in the next patch
Baby WolfTiger I think this game is ac unity :D
Baby WolfTiger I'd be surprised their probably just gonna work on getting rid of acogs for the other operators
Unit987654321 I can see this game was made by ubi
Unit987654321 no it was a brand new update to it
MRI Magnet near MRI Magnet

Makes you think about the mind boggling power of a magnetar!
This is a RUclips gem 💎
I’ve heard stories about someone who had a wrench 🔧 in there back pocket and accidentally backed up against the machine they had to leave their pants there. The best thing for me was the lamp chain after stretching it out you could see lamp chain actually follow flux lines, something ever kid should experience to get them interested in science, Excluding the kids into metal piercings.
"Cuddy is going to be so pissed"
lol I thought that too
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
Brilliant, nice to find this comment
Well she had a surgical pin in her arm
I got a MRI done on my head few years back where I forgot my belt on. Weirdest thing feeling your ass getting picked up by your belt buckle.
I told the guy running it and he went "hmmmm, it should be fine".
Im just glad that buckle didnt rip off the belt.
That could be ugly.
It's good the buckle was pulled away from the body and not the opposite way
I got a MRI once I asked if I need to take my belt off? He said naw it should be ok. It didn't do anything so I guess he was right.
@@Yophillips3272 low ferrous metal content
I had that happen to me to I thought the nurse was unbuckling my pants couldn't understand why, then realized why they asked all the questions bout metal.......
And then the hospital's director came in and fired everyone.
Great video guys!
