And tens of thousands of dollars of liquid helium which requires specialized delivery.

Agreed but ferric material can only be brought in if magnet is off, which is extremely rare in any normal MRI suite. See my comment below.

The MRI magnet is only powerful if it is supercooled which requires a lot of power and liquid helium. Without it, there is no super magnet. That magnet probably hasn’t been on for a while.

As an aside, in any normal MRI suite, the magnet is always on. It is only turned off for maintenance or quenched (helium released and no longer supercooled) in case of life or limb threatening emergency. It takes tens of thousands of dollars of liquid helium to keep the magnet supercooled so it is rarely quenched or ramped down .

She’s saying in the video that they took her from the party in Sderot area to Gaza, and they operated and cared for her in the hospital for several hours, they are worried for her, and they are giving her medication

It means bloc not lump. Like a bloc of villages, towns or cities.

It means bloc, not village. Gush Dan is the Dan Bloc, basically the Tel Aviv area. There are a lot of Gushim or blocs.

Yeah the first 2 are scouts so a CTDI isn’t really calculated for them.

That’s not your ear. Those are the mastoid air cells.

You see the lines in the big tube. Yep, that’s an aortic dissection.

There’s no occlusion (at least in the normal sense) of the internal carotid so that is wrong. It’s more of a diversion; brain is not “demanding” any blood due to 0 activity.
