MRI medication infusion administration

I'd be interested if anyone would be willing to share any information regarding policy or practices surrounding medication infusion management during MRI or other intrahospital transport for NON-CRITICAL CARE patients. Of particular interest is management of patients on heparin drips while in MRI. Other medication infusions (vasoactive drips such as diltiazem) more clearly require an RN present for patient monitoring of vital signs, etc.

Thank you!
