Authorities said the man, who was not authorized to enter the Westbury imaging room, suffered a medical episode after he was forcefully pulled into the machine.
He was rushed to a local hospital, where he’s listed in critical condition with unknown injuries.
It remains unclear how he gained access to the medical suite during an active scan.
MRI, or magnetic resonance imaging, machines use powerful magnetic fields that require patients and physicians to remove jewelry and other metallic objects for safety reasons.
The investigation is ongoing.
