PIX11.<\/p>\n<p class=\"text_text__nEn66\">As per\u00a0CBS News, staff at North Shore University Hospital have explained the dangers of entering an MRI room without permission.<\/p>\n<p class=\"text_text__nEn66\">Dr. Payal Sud said: \u201cThe dangers could be catastrophic and it underscores why we have all the safety precautions in place.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"text_text__nEn66\">North Shore went on to explain that all metal and electrical objects, including that of jewellery must be removed by patients before entering a machine.<\/p>\n<p class=\"text_text__nEn66\">They can be also dangerous for people with oxygen tanks and those in wheelchairs, with Charles Winterfeldt, who is the hospital\u2019s director of imaging services, adding: \u201cIt would act like a torpedo trying to get into the middle of the center of the magnet.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"text_text__nEn66\">Sud said that if the chain was \u2018wrapped around the neck\u2019, then a number of \u2018strangulation injuries\u2019 could occur, like asphyxiation or cervical spinal injuries.<\/p>\n<div class=\"article-image_articleImage__eyzAn\">\n<div
