RF shielding is required for every clinical MRI system. While most MRI manufacturers will require 100 dB of RF attenuation at the sense frequency, the requirements may vary for any given manufacturer and for higherfrequency testing specifications. RF shielding can be made of virtually any type of metal; however, the most prominent types used for MRI shielding are copper, galvanized steel, and aluminum.
The RF shield forms a complete box around the MRI system. Everything that is to come into the MRI room must pass through an RF filter or waveguide. RF filters are mounted on the RF shield and create an penetration point for electrical power for lighting or powered outlets within the MRI room. RF filters also accommodate data cables. Waveguides are penetrations in the RF shield that allow a fluid flow into the MRI room. Air conditioning, water and medical gases all provide a fluid flow and require a Copper Flooring Type Flooring Filters waveguide.
Neugen also has a strong team specialized in radiology equipment installation.
The goal of magnetic shielding is to protect the environment from the MRI magnetic field. Magnetic shielding is usually fabricated with silicon steel in sheet form.
