MRI Suite Prep at Dawn with Blankets and Bins

Cool, pale dawn light falls through a glass partition, casting soft, diffuse reflections on the smooth white walls of the imaging control area. A bright yellow and black ferromagnetic warning line runs horizontally across the lower frame, marking a strict safety boundary. Beside this line, a stack of folded white blankets rests on a metal counter, their crisp edges against the industrial gray floor. Two bins filled with blue ear protection sit nearby, ready for use. The turn of seasons brings a specific clarity to the air, visible in the sharp, unblurred details of the clinical equipment. One shadow falls beneath the blanket stack, at the base of the objects in the quiet predawn stillness.
