Recently, Keith McAllister, a 61 year-old man in the US, died after being sucked in by an MRI machine’s magnetic force. We explore the safety of using MRI machines, and why screening measures are important to ensure that objects like the chain McAllister had been wearing are removed to prevent accidents.
