Oh, it gets worse, much worse...
So how does a "magnetic field" make a gun discharge?
My guess is that the magnetic field is so strong that it tugged on the gun so that it moved, pulling the gun in such a way that clothing or other material depressed the trigger.
I recall reading years ago about some guy's gun getting stuck to an MRI machine due to its strong magnetic attraction.

If that is the case, I would think a mandatory pat down would be a consideration out of caution for regular folks and those older who may forget things.
Not just for guns, but for anything else that would react badly to this magnetic field.

I see a foreign object with some sort of T handle. What the heck is it?

Even if there isn't a discharge (or even a firearm), there's danger from large steel objects being thrown into patients or technical personnel. MRIs are no joke.
The only 2 times I was ever in one of those machines, they made me strip to my underwear and put on a robe. Wonder where her hiding place is/was.
I would like to know more about this case. Patients are usually gowned for an MRI. No ferrous metals in the room at all. That includes any clothing with such metal fasteners as snaps, hooks, zippers and etc. Jewelry of any type is a big no no. Even some surgical implants are not allowed. People have been seriously injured or killed by objects flying into the magnet thus the strict protocols.
I suspect the tech may have been fired for this. Musta been one heck of a good concealed carry system.

Looks like some kind of push knife. I'd say that was a poor time to use the prison purse.
How do you not know your gun is "on" you. Even when I dropped a Davis .22 mag derringer in my shirt pocket I was aware of it at all times. There ain't that much stupid in one person, had to borrow some. Joe
Years ago I had a metal shaving in my eye. Had to get it scooped out of my eye once it started rusting. 
Years later needing a MRI I had to get ex rays of my eyes showing I had no metal before they would perform the MRI.
They said just a small shaving could potentially get pulled through my eye blinding me or even death if it nicked something.

Kinda looks like the business end of a 1911 upside down.
