Sep 23, 2019 · The overarching goal that should drive the design of any healthcare facility, particularly MRI suites and clinics, is how well it will deliver patient care, how safe it is, and how functional...
To enhance patient comfort, design considerations should be considered from the moment the patient enters the imaging suite. For example, RF shielded doors should be architectural in design to provide an easy-open, lever-style handle. A low friction design makes it easy to open for MR technicians while the

The factors involved in locating an MR unit in a diagnostic facility are more numerous and far more complex than for radiological imaging equipment.
In general, the design and operation of the MRI facility must go hand-in-hand with creating an appealing, comfortable environment. Neither the design nor the operation can achieve this goal without the support of the other. From a design, the patient flow should be simple, logical and natural. Sufficient space should be allotted
