Abstract

Magnetic resonance imaging is a new technology that is free from the hazards of ionizing radiation. However, the technology utilizes intense magnetic fields and there is a risk of ferrous objects becoming projectiles if brought too close to the magnet. This case report describes an accident where a large metallic body was drawn into the bore of the magnet, seriously injuring an individual in its path.
