title: Site planning for nuclear magnetic resonance imaging.
abstract: The unique factors to be considered in selection of a site for a magnetic resonance imaging installation are addressed, with emphasis on the interaction of the magnet with its environment. The effect of ferrous objects on the magnet and the influence of the magnet on its surroundings are discussed. Design issues for magnetic shields are given.
