It must be very difficult, or you have plenty of room. Our MRI at our hospital is in another building and the room itself is very small. Just room enough for a patient to be loaded on the platform.

Nope...not hard. The CT machine is in the Hosp. But it's still a pain in the ass.....Having to have a portable Vent..or bag the patient the whole time.

This is a tiny rural Hosp. No MRI available...35 miles away...though.

MRI ventilators use Pressure modes. This allows for extra length tubing which would permit the vent to actually be outside of the room. Of course, that would make me very uncomfortable. Unlike a CT scan room, one can actually be in an MRI as it is in use.

Why would they construct or utilize such a tiny space for an MRI?
