Actually being ripped out of the body? Probably not…but cause intense pain and damage to the body? Yes. The magnet in an MRI is crazy powerful. However, the vast, vast, majority of medical implants are made from non-ferrous metals (mostly titanium and non-ferrous stainless steel alloys.)

Here’s a video about MRI safety. It’s long, but just go to about the one minute mark to see a metal wrench fly through the air and obliterate bricks that are between it and an MRI magnet.

However, like I said, the odds of it happening to a patient are slim…for one, they would not only have to have one of the few implants that are ferrous, but they’d also have to somehow avoid having it be noticed by the doctors/MRI techs. It’s pretty common to get an X-ray or two or three before an MRI if anyone is unsure if you have metal in you. Most of the implants that are ferrous are electronic, like a pacemaker, cochlear implant, etc, and therefore even more likely to be known about by the patient and be on their chart…most plain metal things (pins, screws, joint replacements) are ok to be in an MRI, however, the metal will still cause distortion and artifacts in the image itself (there’s also a small risk of the metal getting heated through induction.)

As for shotgun pellets…I have no idea if those are ferrous or not. But yes, if they are, she would be fucked in an MRI. Hell, she’d probably be fucked just entering the room it’s in, without it even being on. But again, if the doctors, nurses, and techs are doing their job, she’d never get to that point. IIRC, most injuries and deaths from MRIs aren’t from something internal to the patient, they are from someone bringing something external into the room that then flies into the bore of the MRI, where the patient is, at very high speed. The most common culprit is an oxygen tank…how the fuck this happens I have no idea. There are aluminum O2 cylinders that are clearly marked that they are the ONLY kind to be used near an MRI, yet someone the steel ones work their way in there…
