 1. MRI Safety Requirements

   - Veterinary colleges often have MRI scanners for diagnostic imaging in animals. 

   - Animals weight ≥40KGS

   - MRI machines generate powerful magnetic fields (1.5T–3T or higher), which can turn ferromagnetic objects (e.g., standard stretchers with metal parts) into dangerous projectiles, risking injury to animals, staff, and equipment . 

2. Preventing Accidents

   - A standard stretcher with steel components could be violently pulled into the MRI bore, causing equipment damage or harm to the animal patient. 

   - Non-magnetic stretchers made from aluminum material eliminate this risk . 

3. Compatibility with Advanced Diagnostics

   - Veterinary colleges train students in high-tech imaging procedures, requiring MRI-safe equipment. 

   - Non-magnetic stretchers ensure seamless transport of animals into the MRI suite without interrupting scans or compromising safety . 

 4. Teaching Best Practices 

   - Using MRI-compatible stretchers reinforces safety protocols for future veterinarians, emphasizing proper handling in sensitive environments . 

 5. Versatility in Surgical & Emergency Care

   - Beyond MRI, non-magnetic stretchers are useful near other sensitive equipment (e.g., CT scanners, X-ray suites) where metal interference must be minimized . 

Conclusion

Non-magnetic stretchers are essential in veterinary colleges to ensure safety, facilitate advanced imaging, and train students in modern veterinary practices.
