Magnetic resonance installation: siting and economic considerations.
The authors discuss the economics involved in operating a magnetic resonance (MR) imager in a 600-bed community hospital over a six-month period. Topics considered include patient monitoring; controlling access to the magnet room; depreciation and maintenance; cost of electricity, cryogenic liquids, and personnel; and charges for patient care. Conclusions are made regarding the current use of MR in a community hospital.
