MRI suites hold unique dangers for patients and staff. Today?s high-strength clinical MRI scanners are up to 60,000 times the strength of the Earth?s ambient magnetic field. While exposure to magnetic energies has shown no harmful biological effects, there are still many accidents and incidents that jeopardize the safety of patients and staff in the MRI suite. The proliferation of MRI equipment and significant increases in magnet strength. It has increased the number of accidents occurring in the MRI suite. Each accident and close call puts patients and staff at risk and carries the potential of damaging, if not crippling, over a million dollars worth of imaging equipment.
