    A Brazilian man has passed away from injuries he received last month when a concealed handgun he was wearing discharged near an operating MRI machine, shooting him in the abdomen.

    The 40-year-old lawyer and vocal supporter of gun ownership is reported to have retained the weapon in spite of verbal and written requests to remove all metal objects prior to accompanying his mother into the scanning room.

    Leandro Mathias de Novaes took his mother to the Laboratorio Cura in São Paulo, Brazil, for an MRI ( magnetic resonance imaging) scan on January 16.

    Clinical staff are reported to have instructed both de Novaes and his mother to leave all metal items outside of the scanning room as a matter of standard procedure.

    MRI room ekedi metal walata pana enawada bn?:baffled:
    What's MRI? It's Magnetic Resonance Imaging. It's Magnetic. A typical MRI scanner uses magnetic fields between 1.5 to 3.0 Tesla. Some new scanners use up to 7 Tesla.
    The magnet field produced by Earth is 0.5 gauss or about 50 microtesla, or 0.00005 Tesla.
    The magnet field produced by the magnet in a 1.5T MRI machine is 15,000 gauss, meaning the magnet in a 1.5T scanner is 30,000 times stronger than that produced by the Earth.
    There should be no metal anywhere near a MRI scanner.

    Is this scan ok for the body?

    Yes.. no ionizing radiation. Only strong magnetic fields. Basically we are 80% water with millions of Hydrogen atoms. When placed in the magnetic field, these atoms align with the field, like a compass points to the North Pole. A radio wave "knocks down" the atoms and disrupts their polarity. The sensor detects the time it takes for the atoms to return to their original alignment. In essence, MRI measures the water content (or fluid characteristics) of different tissues, which is processed by the computer to create an image with high clarity.
