MRI Shielding & Testing
When a medical facility contains a magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) suite, the MRI equipment has to be accurately shielded from any local environmental interference, as from computers, medical equipment, and appliances which emit radio frequency signals disturbing the MRI field. Equally important, the local environment has to be shielded from RF and magnetic interference, as strong magnetic fields can mechanically damage sensitive instruments, discharge batteries, or erase magnetic media. Any ferrous object within the field of these magnets can be drawn to the MRI equipment with great force. Proper shielding requires accurate preplanning and flawless execution.
Allphase Medical can install a myriad of shielding options to walls, floors and ceilings safely. Proper shielding protects patients, healthcare providers, employees and sensitive electronic equipment from the affects of strong magnetic fields common with imaging devices.
