MRI-compatible wheelchairs are specially designed to be safely used in and around MRI machines. Standard wheelchairs are not safe in MRI environments due to their ferromagnetic parts, which can become dangerous projectiles and distort imaging.
Made entirely from non-ferrous materials like aluminum, titanium, or special plastics to prevent magnetic attraction
MR Conditional — meaning it has been tested and is safe under certain MRI conditions (e.g., 1.5T or 3T systems).
Traditional brakes and ball bearings contain steel, but MRI wheelchairs use plastic or ceramic bearings and non-magnetic brake systems.
Some facilities use color-coded equipment to differentiate MRI-safe gear (e.g., green for MRI-safe, red for unsafe).
Surfaces are typically smooth and non-porous to meet clinical hygiene standards
