That's crazy... Did they bill you for the cost of shutting down the MRI and refilling the helium?

Depending on the mass they may have been able to remove it manually. A colleague used to use paperclips to study the field lines, and those had very little force.

It was easy to remove. No shutdown required.

They probably left it until the next maintenance cycle. Nobody wants the downtime.

Or sent the tech in with a plastic putty knife to scrap it to somewhere he could get a hand on it and rip it out of there.

Even after adding MRI levels of force a 1oz pen is still gonna be something that you can pick up.

Wouldn't that cause heavy distortion in the image though?
