Abstract/OtherAbstract:
|
The addition of a magnetic resonance (MR) unit to a hospital radiology environmental poses many unique considerations. Large magnetic fields present health and safety considerations as well as a hostile environment for data recorded magnetically. Radio-frequency shielding is necessary to eliminate a source of background signal that interferes with patient examinations. Magnetic shielding may be necessary in some instances to prevent low-level magnetic field exposure of persons with artificial cardiac pacemakers. Superconducting magnets are heavy and large and may give off large amounts of helium which can temporarily replace the air in the magnet room. Possible solutions to these environmental requirements are presented. |
