Are you getting ready to set up an MRI room at
your medical facility? If so, there are a lot of
decisions to make, from choosing the right MRI
machine to preparing your MRI room for RF
Shielding. RF Shielding is a must since it
prevents the noise of radio frequency from
entering the MRI Scanner and distorting the
images or scans. It requires extensive planning
and a significant amount of testing before you
can launch your MRI scanning services.

The process begins when you assess your MRI room.
Youll need the services of a shielding vendor,
which is a contractor separate from the company
you are purchasing your MRI Scanner from. Its
wise to contact a shielding vendor before you
purchase your imaging device in order to make
sure the site youve chosen for your MRI room is
truly suitable for installation.

Testing Your MRI Room Location Your shielding
vendor will perform a variety of tests,
including AC/DC Interference Test This will
measure the potential effect of electrical
currents that are located in the vicinity of your
MRI site. RF Interference Test It provides
information about the potential effects of
RF-producing equipment that are within or near
your building. Vibration Test This measures the
level of vibration if your system is shaking as
its scanning. Once the testing is complete and
your MRI site has been approved, your vendor will
work with you to determine which type of
shielding is the best choice. Shielding is
available in copper, galvanized steel and
aluminum.
