Right. The increase is from ~$69, so it's +~45% more expensive. If it was a decrease from the $101 it would be ~31% cheaper.

Yeah I was curious where the 30% was originating when it looks like 45%

I name all of my salt deposits. Some of them even turn into humans! (after a 10 month gestation period).

Agreed, but the person I'm responding to made a point about weeks vs. weekends.

There is a calendar on the site showing which days he was confirmed to have been golfing. There are many on the weekends, but not all, which means "work week" time was spent golfing.

This is generally referred to as pound-force (lbf) instead of just pound (lb). At least, that's what we use at my engineering firm when converting from Newtons so I may be misinformed.

That's only useful for the current date, or dates within your current month. Otherwise this is worthless information haha.

"When was Archduke Franz Ferdinand assassinated?"

"The 28th."

For a kidney, they probably used the body coil and it would have taken around 15 minutes. Does that sound right?

Unfortunately they did get in the room sometimes. For the most part, techs are really good about keeping the magnet room clear and not bringing ferrous items inside. However, even when things like that did get inside they really aren't a problem to just pick up with your hands (or sometimes our titanium tools like pliers or a screwdriver to get a better grip on them). The pull is strong, but based off the amount of ferrous material so those things that are just a few grams are not really notable.

Yes I had two separate occasions of having to remove a ferrous table from a magnet. One was able to be removed with 5 of us pulling (using a tie strap for safety to make sure it didn't fling when we repositioned it), but the other we had to ramp down the magnet to remove from the room.

I used to install and maintain MRIs (as well as some other medical imaging modalities) and this seems to be wrong any time I've ever seen it in media.

1. people will be shown in the magnet room with steel wheelchairs/patient tables/chairs/etc. or even their phones. None of that should be entering the room at all.
2. the images shown on the diagnostics will be like a radiogram or PET or something that would not show from an MRI.
3. the scan only takes a minute for a "picture", when in reality having an MRI scan can easily take an hour. You may have some people taking only 15 minutes or so, but those are the quick ones. Clinicians will order a whole list of scans and each one takes several minutes.

If they were for any price, this is still true.
