A mankind has died of his injury , after taking a hide weapon into a magnetised resonance imaging ( MRI ) elbow room .
Forty - year - old lawyer Leandro Mathias de Novaes allegedly took a hired gun with him when go with his mother to an engagement at Laboratorio Cura , hold in under his girdle .
“ Both the patient and [ her ] companion were properly instruct regarding the procedures for accessing the interrogation way and warn about the removal of any and all metal object , ” Laboratorio Cura said in a affirmation , according to the Miami Herald .
“ The firearm was not mentioned by the fellow traveler , who entered the test room with the object by his decision . ”
MRI machines work by creating powerful charismatic fields ( as well as radio wave ) aim H nucleus ( protons ) in weewee . As protons are subjected to the magnetized theater ( about athousand times strongerthan that produce by a electric refrigerator attractor ) their axes line up .
" This unvarying alinement creates a magnetic transmitter oriented along the bloc of the MRI scanner , " scientific discipline editor Abi Bergerexplains in the BMJ .
" When additional energy ( in the form of a radio waving ) is added to the magnetized field of honor , the magnetic vector is parry . The wireless waving frequency [ … ] that cause the hydrogen nuclei to vibrate is drug-addicted on the element try ( atomic number 1 in this guinea pig ) and the specialty of the magnetic field . "
" When the radiofrequency source is shift off the magnetic vector recurrence to its rest body politic , and this stimulate a sign ( also a radio wave ) to be emitted . It is this signaling which is used to create the MR images . "
While this is great for seeing inside the dead body – especially gristle and muscles , which other scanning methods ca n’t project as effectively – it ’s not so great if you happen to be carrying any at large metal or loaded small-arm .
The television shows how metal is suck towards the machines .
harmonise to reports , the gun advocate ’s weapon waspulled out of his waistbandby the automobile , before it discharge into his stomach.de Novaeshad a license to stockpile the arm , but it is not open why he did n’t absent it prior to entering the simple machine . Before his deathon February 6 , the attorney regularly posted pro - gun content to his TikTok channel , harmonise to the New York Post .
