Wikipedia has as good an explanation as any https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Magnet...onance_imaging

Yeah, I knew it was something like what I said, couldn't remember it all. But still pretty amazing.

Although I'm still waiting for a device like Dr. McCoy had on STrek. They're working on them, but still some years away.

Now that would be something.

Something interesting I heard about the MRI machines, it actually takes a couple hours to power them down. You can't just turn them off/on like a light bulb.

Also they had to X Ray my eyes 1st time I got one since I worked around grinders. Turns out if there are any tiny metal fragments in your eyes, they can be ripped out & do some damage.

Yep there is no off switch they have to let the magnet coils warm up by letting the liquid gas evaporate away and not replenish it then it will loose its magnet pull

Slept through my first two MRIs, third one I had my hands behind my head with my elbows up and that popped both shoulders and they couldn't get me out either going in or out. Screamed for around 45 minutes until they got The Emergency Room Doctor to put me out. Don't know How they did it, but know I need surgery on both shoulders. Only way they got me in the last 10+ was under anesthesia. Big Time claustrophobic now

EDIT: Forgot to say the Techs told me the only person they heard scream more was a guy covered in Prison tattoos

Morning Bat. Sounds pretty terrifying. Yeah, you have to account for the table going back & forth. Looks like they'll be giving you a Xanax from now on before you get another one of those.

Anytime they inject me with dye for a CT, I have one hand holding the tube because I've had it rip out of my arm before when they put you back in the machine. That stretchy tube does have it's limits.

I normally doze off in an MRI or a PET scan, pet scan takes about 40 mins so.

One of the first companies to make a serious attempt at creating a Tricorder was Scanadu, which released a device called the Scout in 2015.The Scout could measure a handful of vital signs -- blood pressure, heart rate, blood oxygen saturation, and temperature -- by being held up to a patient's forehead. It's not quite the Tricorder's no-touch technique, and had no diagnostic capabilities, but it was arguably further towards such a device than any hardware before it.
