He wasn't the patient, and the article says he entered without permission when his wife called him in after the scan was done. It sounds like she called him and he went in either before anyone could stop him, or against the protests of hospital staff (no speculation either way).
I wonder why it isn't interlocked so the door is locked while the MRI is on. Maybe fire code? Emergency medical response seems unsafe unless there's a team of people with special non-ferrous gear waiting around. They'd have to shut off the MRI anyways to avoid stethescopes and what not becoming projectiles.

- everforward 1y agoWell that would certainly explain it. I thought they were some form of electromagnet.
