Is it true that an MRI scanner's magnetic field pulls on the iron in a person's blood?
No. Two sources address whether an MRI's magnetic field pulls on blood iron: one physics Q&A says the field does act but the force is negligible, comparable to that on water, while another states the body's iron is in a non-magnetic ionic form and is not attracted. Both indicate the field does not meaningfully pull on the iron in blood.
