    About the author: Geoffrey Pierini serves as CEO and Founder of Excalibur Group, LLC, a business specializing in constructing medical imaging and oncology facilities in accordance with the many building regulations such suites require.

    Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) suites involve special safety regulations in order to protect medical staff and patients. The machines utilize more than 50,000 times the Earth’s natural magnetism. While MRIs themselves are safe, the strength of such magnetic fields presents risks for accidents related to the powerful attraction between iron-containing materials and the machine’s magnets.

    Proper MRI suite design and construction can help mitigate the risk of serious accidents in imaging facilities and medical offices. Below are some considerations.

    1. Objects containing iron can quickly become projectiles if they are located within range of the machine’s magnetism. Suite design takes this into account, establishing zones where each activity can be performed without the threat of introducing iron-containing (ferromagnetic) materials into the magnet’s range. We can also design suites with ferromagnetic detection systems for further safety.

    2. The powerful magnetism of MRIs can interfere with implanted biological devices, such as pacemakers or insulin pumps, leading to serious injury or even death. Because of this, suites are designed to accommodate only those who have been rigorously screened within the zone of magnetic force. A qualified designer carefully plans this zone, known as the 5-gauss exclusion zone, so staff or patients who screen out due to biological implanted devices can stay well out of reach of the unit’s magnetism.

    3. MRI units utilize liquid helium existing within the machine at an extremely cold temperature (more than -450 degrees Fahrenheit). Magnet failure within machines may lead to rapid expulsion of helium into the surrounding environment, which displaces air and presents significant risk of asphyxiation and cold burns. Proper MRI suite design includes pressure relief and emergency exhaust systems to help minimize these risks.
