MRI Center Connectivity Technologies - Coaching

IT and Connectivity Technologies for your MRI Center - Module #16

Connectivity for your MRI imaging center. IT Drops, Cable Routing, Server Racks, and Ample Bandwidth.

In this Module, we will discuss connectivity for your MRI imaging center, including:

How do you determine your IT and telephone drops? This should happen during early architectural planning, as you can have some long cable runs and several drops to consider and plan for.
Planning for hard-line dedicated POTS phone circuits for elevator and MRI Magnet remote monitoring, what to know.
Planning for and building IT hot spots.
Consider USB ports along with standard electrical outlets in several areas.
Ensure your internet carrier can offer large bandwidth and high-speed sending of large data files. Ensure High-Speed Fiber connectivity early in project planning. Do not scrimp on this one; you do not want to send and receive internet slowly for the large data MRI Image files. You want fiber cabling at your MRI site.
Setting up MRI machine IP addresses with the MRI field Engineers well before your “GO LIVE” date,
Coordinate and test your connectivity with your Teleradiology Group IT team on the other end.
Planning with IT, the MRI Technologist, and Owners on the MRI File Archive Agreement. It can often be developed with the Teleradiology Group if that benefits the client group.
Consider additional MRI file storage redundancy and additional file backup servers.
We will answer other project questions as needed.
