Does anyone know if there is a manufacture of non-ferrous heat detectors suitable for use in MRI procedure rooms?

How completely non-ferrous?
What other specifications? What purpose, resolution, long term stability, and anything else?

For any addressable system I'm aware of, the heat detectors are largely a plastic body with a thermistor element in them. You still have some basic electronics in them though, so I don't know what effect the magnetic field will have on them.
Have you considered an aspirated smoke detection system, such as Xtralis' VESDA, Minimax's Helios, or System Sensor's FAAST? All the elements in the room are made out of plastic, and you can run the plastic pipe to a shielded/safe location to the detector. As a bonus, you get waaaaay earlier detection for a fire, or even a well done electronics board.
