ABSTRACT

At the very minimum a magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) facility consists of the MRI suite, the console area, a computer and hardware room, a control room, and the cryogen storage area. The filming area is usually part of the console area. In larger hospitals and clinical centers, there is often a separate room or area where an independent console or workstation physically exists that allows radiographers and radiologists to independently view, film, and process medical images.
