From accident reduction, to increased patient throughput, to increased clinical value to the equipment, a properly designed and constructed MRI suite can dramatically enhance the total revenue and reduce the lifetime costs of MRI operation.

In addition to protecting today’s investment, Junk Architects’ expertise in MRI facility design also provides a glimpse into where MRI is going. If you were to design a MRI suite today from the vendor’s templates, would you be prepared for the dramatic growth in interventional MR? What about changes in infection control standards? How about the incorporation of high-field open magnets or specialty extremity scanners?

MRI equipment is simply too expensive and too clinically vital to compromise the design and construction of an MRI suite. A well designed suite should extend the clinical life of MRI equipment, provide easy adaptation to new diagnostic and interventional procedures, reduce the likelihood and severity of MRI accidents and, after a long and profitable life, should anticipate an upgrade to currently-available equipment.
