Comment Comment by maxwell_smart This article isn't great.First, it illustrates an MRI story with a (mislabeled) picture of a CT scanner.Then, it overestimates the volume of gas expelled by a factor of 1000.170L X 750 = 90k L = 90m^3.This would fill a 35m^2 (about 350 sq ft) room, maybe the size of a living room, with pure helium. parent maxwell_smart 8 years ago
First, it illustrates an MRI story with a (mislabeled) picture of a CT scanner.
Then, it overestimates the volume of gas expelled by a factor of 1000.
170L X 750 = 90k L = 90m^3.
This would fill a 35m^2 (about 350 sq ft) room, maybe the size of a living room, with pure helium.
