I am kind of baffled by the notion that people are allowed to wear street clothes into the room, rather than hospital gowns. ---

I thought perhaps the MRI techs waved a handheld metal detector over the patient. ---

I wonder if an MRI machine would cause a pistol to fire if it did not have a chambered round. ---

The field is not uniform. In some circumstances, the slide may be inexorably pulled back initially, then released in a different position as the patient is fed into the tunnel. A cartridge is picked up from the magazine and chambered. The initial slide action also cocks the firing pin. Further insertion into the tunnel probably pulled the metalic trigger and fired the round. Totally accidental. Or else the patient was an idiot. ---

Another possibility is that she was using steel cased ammo. Ferrous metal + strong magnetic field = hot Hot HOT! Though one would think all all rounds would have cooked off in that scenario.
