What You Need To Start And Complete A MRI Room And Clinic?


Facts About MRI Rooms, Systems, And Parts


The components of a complete MRI system are usually found in three adjacent rooms, as shown in the diagram to the right:       

1) Magnet room       
2) Equipment room       
3) Control room

The layout to a MRI clinic

MRI Magnet Room Contain.


This MRI magnet, its housing/casing, support shoes, and patient table. Cables, vents, and wiring generally enter the top of the magnet assembly that passes through a tray in the ceiling.
What you need in a MRI room

 Some cables and pipes can pass from below along the trenches in the floor. The walls of the magnet room is built in layers and perform different independent functions: magnetic shielding to limit the marginal field; acoustic shielding to limit noise transmission to the control room and beyond; Radiofrequency shielding to prevent electromagnetic noise from entering or leaving the room.

The floor must be capable of supporting the considerable weight of the magnet, the table, and the accessories. The weight of a typical 1.5 T cylindrical superconductor scanner is on the order of 4,500 kg of 10,000 pounds, while a 3.0 T scanner can weigh up to 7,500 kg of 17,000 pounds. The weight of a permanent low-field magnet can be three times greater than a 1.5 T superconducting scanner, up to 16,000 kg.
Room finishes with magnets generally contain cabinets or storage areas for a a large number of MRI accessories, including ghosts, cushions, sponges, straps, wedges, heart cables, peripheral pulse control devices, and respiratory bellows. A sump is usually required, as well as oxygen and suction equipment.

There are often contrast injectors, as well as auxiliary materials for contrast injection, which include syringes, intravenous tubes, tape and the contrast itself.
Adjustable lighting is recommended, using DC sources with fluctuation of less than 5% and with the power converter located outside the magnet room. We recommend LED lighting or short filament bulbs to avoid vibrations and early exhaustion.
Fluorescent lighting cannot be used due to the radio frequency (RF) interference it produces. A window through which you can see the patient is present in almost every facility, often accompanied by a remote video monitoring system.


MRI Equipment Room.

The components of the cooling system for magnet, amplifiers and gradient coils are shown above. These include a cryocooler compressor or a "helium pump" (which circulates the liquid helium around the magnet) and a heat exchanger or "cooler" (which pumps a mixture of antifreeze and water to cool the gradients, in addition to removing something heat from the helium system,) The cables and tubes of the electrical and cooling equipment pass through the penetration panels in the common wall between the magnet room and the equipment room.

MRI Control room. 

This is immediately outside the magnet room. It contains the operator console, the keyboard, the communication devices, the ECG and the oxygen monitors and the computer equipment that controls the scanner (box on the floor at the bottom right of the desk).
