2.2 Instructions to plan a safe and compliant MR Site
Laboratory infrastructure and operation of the MR instrument must be safe and compliant
with regulatory. The following safety aspects need to be considered when planning the MR
site.
2.2.1 Magnetic Field
The super-conducting magnet of the MR instrument continually produces a very strong
magnetic field inside of and outside of the magnet. The magnetic field outside of the magnet
typically extends much further than the magnet housing to the surrounding area. To minimize
hazards due to unawareness of the influence of strong magnetic fields, access to this area
must be restricted. The System Owner (responsible body) has to establish a Controlled
Access Area.
