Ok, interesting, makes sense. Next, explain to me why the MRI machine does not... take itself apart? In an MRI machine without a cover you can see all kinds of micro and macro machinery, cables, fans, plating, sensors, magnetrons, pulse transformators, gun drivers... Pretty much each of those parts would be pulled through the room and get stuck to the MRI machine if brought in individually, or am I wrong?

The engineers have accounted for this and appropriately fasten the individual components to the machine rather than bringing the parts in for assembling the machine while the high powered magnetic field is present.
