Ever wondered what happens when you drink metal-containing coffee before an MRI scan? The bottom panels provide a rather... graphic demonstration! MRI machines use incredibly powerful magnets (up to 30,000 times stronger than Earth's magnetic field) that will absolutely yank any ferromagnetic objects through your body. That's why the radiologist asks if you have any metal implants or jewelry—they're not just being nosy, they're trying to prevent you from becoming a walking physics experiment. Next time, maybe skip the iron supplements before your appointment.
