  • i would laugh at wolverine if he ever went in one hahahaha

  • Because it would cost over $100,000 to quench the magnet and repower it back up not to mention the days of down time where the machine can make $3,000 per hour.

  • @LukeL007 Actually you cannott repower an MRI after it is quenched. It needs to be replaced and it is dangerous and a ton of helium which is already limited will be wasted. You may be thinking about ramping the machine down.

  • Reminds me of the house scene were a bullet gets ripped out of a guys head and ruins a 3 000 000 dorra machine lol

  • as a patient that has to have mris regularly this is pretty scary..

  • @cenzo188 MRI machines use superconducting electromagnets. However turning them off would result in a quench of the magnat. When this happens, a particular spot is subject to rapid heating, which raises the temperature of the surrounding regions, which leads to more heating in a chain reaction and can damage the magnet (YBCO is pretty expensive :P)

  • @LuisJLopez91 LOL good point.

  • the only reason I know this can happen is because I watch a tv show house :p

  • someone is highly fired

  • Interesting, I always thought that the MIR machine was an electromagnet of sorts that could be powered down when not in use. If an electric current doesn't create the field, what does?

  • im not even gonnna try to figure out how that chair got there lol

  • MRI fail
