@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
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.
