I am kind of baffled by the notion that people are allowed to wear street clothes into the room, rather than hospital gowns.
As I recall as long as you don’t have metal snaps or zippers.
The (lack of) thought process that says “snaps bad, zippers bad, gun OK” is amazing.
A Glock is all plastic, right? /s
Oh my God, that’s horrible! Was the MRI damaged?
TL;DR- Glocks may have a 9, but 9s shouldn’t have Glocks. Check.
When I had my MRI, I was in a gown, but I was NOT patted down for wepons.
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.
An MRI is just a big gun?
Guns don’t shoot people, MRI machines shoot people.
Don’t most gowns make a pat-down superfluous?
Not a binary choice. The patient was definitely an idiot just for bringing the gun into the MRI.

“Captain…! We’re running low on ignorant gun nut ammo…”
“Alright, which state has a closer port? Texas or Florida…?”
So for self defense you need to be armed and ready with a round chambered when getting an MRI.
The radiological Tech might be a Commie, you never know, you know?
People must do their best to combat ‘free radicals’…
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.
