Why is there a 1 hour waiting period after an MRI scan before the system functionality is back to normal with my FreeStyle Libre 3 sensor?

Although there is no lasting impact to the accuracy of FreeStyle Libre 2, FreeStyle Libre 2 Plus, FreeStyle Libre 3 and FreeStyle Libre 3 Plus sensors readings following an MRI scan, due to the nature of the scan, readings may be disrupted during the procedure. Sensor functionality returns to normal operation with uncompromised readings 1-hour after the MRI scan.

There is no waiting period after a CT-scan or X-ray.
