MRI safety begins long before a patient reaches the scanner. Even small ferromagnetic objects on equipment such as wheelchairs, oxygen tanks, tools, or accessories can become dangerous in a strong magnetic field. Handheld test magnets are designed to quickly check the gross magnetism of items before they enter the MRI suite, helping staff identify risks early and maintain safe operations.

Selecting the correct MRI-compatible wheelchair is an important part of maintaining a safe and efficient imaging environment. Because MRI scanners generate powerful magnetic fields, standard hospital wheelchairs cannot be used inside MRI zones. Dedicated MRI non-magnetic wheelchairs are specifically engineered for safe patient transport while supporting clinical workflow and staff efficiency.
