MRI Magnet Suite - Coaching

MRI Magnet Suite Buildout - Module #13

Working with the architect, MRI equipment supplier, and building contractor on the buildout of the MRI suite.

Note: We recommend you read and review the content in this same consultant section # 13 in the FULL TURNKEY MRI PROJECT ASSISTANCE section for more in-depth information. 

In this Coaching and As Needed Consultation and Assistance Module, we will discuss the following;

• Where are you as present in your MRI Imaging Center Project? Have you selected a site location?
• Have you selected an MRI Magnet? Have you conducted Seismic and Vibration Testing on the site that you wish to use? Have you finalized your MRI site lease?
• If you have selected an MRI supplier, do you understand what they supply and what you are responsible for providing, specifically in the build-out of the MRI Magnet Room? There is more to this than one might have imagined.
• Is your MRI going to be new or refurbished?
• Will your MRI be a 3T, 1.5T, or lower field or extremity MRI unit?
• Are you planning on installing your MRI Magnet on a ground-floor slab on grade or an upper floor?
• Have you selected an Architect, are they an Architect with MRI Site build out experience, or not? An architect who has designed an MRI project in a medical office building?
• Have you selected a builder or remodeler? Do they have experience with MRI Site build-outs?
• What are your thoughts, work to date, and understanding of the content we have provided in this section? (Please read and review the content provided in this same section in the FULL TURNKEY MRI PROJECT ASSISTANCE section)
• Let us make sure we have addressed any of your questions.
• What are your needs, impressions, and responses to our content regarding the containment of the 5 Gauss Field line? Based on my consultation experience, I look forward to providing additional information. There is much more to know about this topic, and a significant amount of information regarding the importance of containment of the 5G line has been provided elsewhere on this site. We will discuss this critical item reasonably extensively in this coaching session.
• There is a significant amount of additional information and detail on understanding the build-out of the RF shield in the MRI magnet room, including what to avoid, what to insist on with Contractors and Subcontractors, how the RF Shield Works, and so on. It is essential to create an MRI Magnet room that consistently produces an artifact-free MRI Scan, much of which will be discussed in this coaching session.
• What do you need to know about/discuss in the design and build-out of the MRI Control Room?
• What you need to know about the design and build-out of the MRI Equipment Room.
• What you need to know about the design and build-out of the MRI dressing and locker room areas.
