Question: Can a high-powered Magnetic Resonance Imaging scanner remove fatigue?
Last night I didn't go to bed, and this morning I had an MRI scan performed on me. It's now 11pm and I still don't feel tired. Is it possible that tiredness is ferrous and was extracted during that half hour I spent in the machine? Maybe I should get them more often...
Answers:
No it is nothing to do with your scan.

No, it's not possible. You're falling for the logical fallacy of post hoc ergo propter hoc. Just because this odd time of excess energy followed the MRI scan doesn't mean the MRI caused it.
Nope, fatigue is not related to the iron in the body.
