MR Unsafe Transport Equipment - Temporary Provisions

What is the primary physical phenomenon described in the video that causes objects to fly toward the MRI system?. The thermal effect. The projectile effect. Radiofrequency interference. Ionizing radiation.

According to the video, how fast can a pair of scissors travel when pulled toward the MRI magnet?. 15 miles per hour. 30 miles per hour. 45 miles per hour. 60 miles per hour.

Which large piece of transport equipment is specifically mentioned as being able to fly across the room and crash into the MRI system?. A plastic wheelchair. An entire journey. A wooden stretcher. A motorized scooter.

Why is it difficult to prevent an accident once a metal object enters the magnetic field?. The magnetic pull is only felt once the scan begins.
