MRI rooms

Because MRI transmits and receives radio signals, scanning must take place in a screened room. The magnet must also be kept at a constant temperature (±1°C, ±2°F) so air conditioning is also needed in the room

The room can be converted from an existing facility, or be incorporated into a new building.

Hallmarq recommends a room size to allow MRI of anaesthetised horses of 8m x 6m (26ft x 20ft). If you plan to do only standing MRI a room size of 5m x 7m (16ft x 24ft) is sufficient.

Design and installation of the RF screened room and air conditioning is a specialist task, and Hallmarq can provide architectural advice to the veterinary clinic and liaison with the room manufacturer to ensure an effective and economic installation.
