- 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 · Healthcare facility designers and architects can add value through collaboration and education while enhancing patient and staff safety in an MRI suite.
All individuals responsible for safety in Zones III or IV of the MR environment should be documented as having been successfully educated regarding MR safety issues (in a manner defined by the facility’s MRMD) at least to a level sufficient to ensure that they do not represent a danger to themselves or others in the MR environment.
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.
Feb 14, 2024 · Protocols should be established to ensure patient safety, including pre- and post-MRI device checks and close monitoring during the procedure. MRI is often critical to diagnostic accuracy, but whether this modality’s benefits in patients with pacemakers outweigh the risks must always be considered.
