3 Magnetic Shielded Room Requirements
NOTICE
All sites, including upgrade sites, must be evaluated for magnetic shielding
requirements. Existing magnetic shielding at an upgrade site may not be
sufficient for the new system. Contact the GE Healthcare Project Manager of
Installation (PMI) to request a site evaluation.
Magnetic shielding prevents interaction between the magnet and nearby sensitive devices.
Because of the added cost of magnetic shielding, room location should be carefully considered
(not all sites require magnetic shielding). See MR Suite Magnetic Field Specifications for
detailed magnetic proximity limit information.
