an MRI machine is as tall as your tallest friend and as fat as your fattest friend. none of the sites i went on had the actual dimensions.
Presumably either PET, CAT or MRI
An average person cannot buy an MRI machine, as they are reserved for medical purposes. If one was to find an MRI machine for sale, it would be very expensive to buy.
The strength of a magnetic field is typically measured in units of Tesla (T) or Gauss (G). For example, the Earth's magnetic field is around 25 to 65 microteslas. In comparison, an MRI machine produces a magnetic field of around 1.5 to 7 Tesla.
Yes.
Tesla.
A MRI machine may need maintenance. When the machine gets so old it can cause it to break.
It stands for Tesla Hope this helps :D
MRI machine
An MRI machine typically uses about 1,700 liters of helium during its operation.
An MRI machine typically consumes around 7,000 to 15,000 watts of power during operation.
If the MRI technologist positions you with your leg going into the magnet (the MRI machine) then your head would be out of it. Call the facility where you are scheduled to have the MRI and ask to speak with the MRI technologist and they can fully explain to you exactly how you will be positioned.
