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?

Yes and there are ventilators & anesthesia machines with titanium parts that are MRI compatible. There are even MRI compatible oxygen tanks.

Lots of people spreading misinformation here. They’re well intentioned folks but really should refrain from opining

We don’t have a lot of room for expansion, but they are building a new wing as we speak. Going UP instead of out. Also we have height restrictions because of the Air Force Base. The CAT Scan machine room and possibly the MRI may be in it as well. For a while back they leased an MRI that was in a trailer..............
