There are two main issues that come to mind when considering placing a camera in a MRI Room.
- Eliminating the risk of the camera or its mounting hardware becoming a flying projectile due to the immense magnetic fields found during the operation of the scanner.
- Insuring the camera will adequately function during operation of the MRI, again due to the strong field.
Failure in #2 might entail a sizable monetary loss, but #1 could obviously be far worse.
Things like pocketknives and pens and even steel cylinders have been known to fly across the room, sometimes with deadly consequences. The safety officer of the hospital will be an important ally into sourcing
There are specialized, and no doubt very expensive, cameras designed for this purpose, like this one, which normally handles 3 tesla, though others can be specified up to 7 tesla. You need to inquire what strength the superconducting magnet coil generates to shop these. The safety officer of the hospital will be an important ally in sourcing the proper gear here.
If this were simply a theoretical discussion, I have various thoughts on what *might* work to meet #1 and #2, but I don't feel qualified to say much more than I have already have, so let us know how it goes!
