3 tesla MRI vs. Titanium core tennis ball

[pyrosparkshark]

This is a lie, I am an mri tech and can tell you that titanium wont have a magnetic pull. Patients that have titanium screws and plates would have them pulled out of their bodies.

Bounce it next time

titanium core tennis ball? titanium is not magnetic.........

[Silvadragon]

Do they still have their jobs?

stfu u crying fagots

[Niami777]

Maybe their interns? Maybe there fresh outta college!

@Niami777 The woman's outfit looks like what the MRI nurse would wear.

Slow day?

It looks to be a training session to show the dangers of improper MRI use. My uncle once new a guy who was killed due to MRI miss management. It pulled an oxygen tank from across the room causing it to explode on impact killing a technician.

Way more then hundreds of thousands, mri machines run around 1 million per tesla.

[ItsMeFletcher]

@robberts1 The strongest you can get is 3 Tesla for medical MRIs.

[robberts1]

@ItsMeFletcher Thats a negative sir, There are some 7 tesla scanners around the world that are used primarily for brain imaging. Also a Chicago based hosp had built a 9.4 tesla magnet, but Im unaware if that is currently being used for research or for the general public.

[ItsMeFletcher]

@robberts1 Wow, just looked it up. The images those produce are phenomenal, I've never seen one stronger than 3 tesla here in Australia.

I misread your original comment as MRIs running at 1 million tesla rather than PER tesla. I was like whaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaat?

[lizichell2]

Were the staff at this hospital disciplined for abusing hundreds of thousands of dollars worth sophisticated and life saving scanning equipment?

[JoelThedude4u]

@lizichell2 "abusing" by what, throwing a tennis ball??? I've seen flying chairs hit the MRI with no damage.

[highvoltagefeathers]

titanium is non ferrous and would not react to an MRI like that. I'd say its a tennis ball with a bolt in it, not titanium.

[ytmachx]

@highvoltagefeathers There is a large current induced into the titanium acting as a shorted secondary winding. The induced current sets up a powerful magnetic field in the titanium. There are many examples of this using copper,(another non ferrous metal), on youtube.

[jmmahony]

@ytmachx Yes, but the secondary magnetic field then is always in the direction that shows the motion of the moving metal object (Lenz's law), so the tennis ball would slow down and just drop to the floor, not go in the middle of the MRI and bounce at high speed.

[JoelThedude4u]

@TheKagomae09 Why? what money? the MRI are ALWAYS on. and maybe they are off work?

[iMANTlS]

Today the doctor said to us that it is ok to use Titanium, guess not !!

[geractivo]

How much this scanner...???? WTF expensive fun

[JoelThedude4u]

@geractivo Couple of million bucks
