- Each MRI facility must have a standard MRI screening policy for individuals suspected of having foreign metallic implants or devices. The policy should apply regardless of the MR system's field strength, magnet type, or magnetic shielding presence.

General design elements. MRI environments are designed to facilitate MRT supervision of Zone IV access from the standard working position at the console. This environment is difficult to supervise and increase the risk of a safety incident. MRI environments are designed to encourage quality patient care:
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...
Apr 9, 2015 · Through conscientious and thorough prospective site planning involving MR staff and radiologists in the design process for MR physical facilities, MR providers can have a positive impact on improving safety as well as efficiency for the benefit of their patients, for ancillary healthcare workers, and for themselves.

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
Improvements in MR safety can result from enhancements to expected opera-tional elements: training, screening, and patient-management protocols. Less frequently considered is the safety bene-fits that may be realized through smart design of MR facilities.
Apr 29, 2019 · The MRI questionnaire is designed to identify all potential implants and/or foreign bodies that the patient has. These are then assessed to decide whether there is a risk involved in scanning the patient.
Site selection and preparation for a clinical MR installation require special considerations that have not been encountered previously in a clinical environment. The factors involved in locating an MR unit in a diagnostic facility are more numerous and far more complex than for radiological imaging equipment.
