MR is different. And
MR-grade accessories
make a difference
It can be tempting to use the same types of accessories across clinical settings, for the sake of convenience and budgetary concerns. The fact is, however, that given the vulnerabilities of standard accessories in an MR environment, extra time and resources spent on MR-graded accessories are beneficial to the bottom line.
Small-scale savings and efficiency wins can become larger-scale losses when non-MR-grade equipment fails to perform—or, worse, becomes a liability.
