How ferromagnetic detection systems prevent projectile risks in MRI rooms—ensuring safety and enabling patient comfort technologies like in-bore cinema.
1. Understanding the Magnetic Hazard in MRI Facilities
MRI healthcare systems operate with powerful, always-on magnets capable of transforming everyday metal objects into dangerous projectiles. These ferromagnetic items from oxygen tanks to pens can be rapidly drawn into the scanner, putting patients and staff at risk. Such incidents often result in costly equipment damage and operational downtime. To address this, MRI patient comfort devices are only effective when paired with rigorous safety measures, including ferromagnetic detection systems.
