The imaging suite, where the dominant modality shapes the room — MRI magnet and RF shielding, radiation-shielded vaults, and the transport adjacencies to ED, OR, and IR. These Articles cover the modality mix and department program, radiation and MRI safety, equipment rigging and magnet ramp-up, and the physics survey, acceptance testing, and regulatory registration required before first scan.
