MRI RF Shielding

Seamlessly, confidently, quickly complete any MRI RF Shielding project

MRI RF Shielding with Caring MR Suite
Invest in image quality.

Don’t risk image quality, downtime and added project costs with inadequate MRI RF shielding.

Since MRI hit the commercial market, we’ve partnered with MRI vendors and providers to design and install MRI RF shielding to deliver superior attenuation, long-term performance, rapid installation and ultimately, improved patient care.

With our wide array of MRI RF shielding products, materials and accessories, we provide custom solutions for each MRI project and have completed more than 3,000 MRI RF shielding projects worldwide since 1984.

See our Intermountain Cedar City Caring MR Suite with our full suite of MRI RF Shielding products.

MRI RF / EMI & Magnetic Shielding

MRI RF shielding requirements are not all the same. With each RF enclosure/MRI project, we identify the RF shielding material and installation technique to provide optimal long-term shielding performance.

  • Learn More

    We offer a variety of RF shielding systems along with the engineering experience to select the optimal shield for each unique installation.

    • Architectural shielded enclosures
    • Soldered copper shielded enclosures
    • Non-oxidizing aluminum shielded enclosures
    • Galvanized panel shielded enclosures
    • Magnetic steel shielding

    Contact Matt Boesel for assistance siting and shielding your MRI system.

RF Electrical Filters

All wiring, including electrical, data and control communications, entering or leaving the RF shielded enclosure must pass through an RF electrical filter to prevent radio frequency (RF) signals from entering or leaving the RF shielded enclosure.

  • Learn More

    RF electrical filters are available in many different sizes and configurations to accommodate all different types of penetrations. PDC will assess the penetration properties and recommend the appropriate RF filter.

Architectural MRI RF Shielding

Confidently shield any project in as little as 4 days. PDC’s Architectural nickel/copper MRI RF shielding material provides exceptional attenuation, flexibility and unique long-term performance at a lower cost than panel shielding.

    Lightweight
    Installs directly over inside wall surfaces

    Requires minimal wall space – conserving valuable floor space compared to panel-type shielding

    Conforms to room shape – corners, soffits, sloped ceilings, without significant additional cost

    Accommodates last-minute site-driven room changes – without additional costs and delays

    Eliminates rigid panels – eliminating large on-site dedicated storage areas to facilitate installation

    Eliminates risk of RF leaks at panel-joint failure – associated with panel-type shielded enclosures

    Provides long-term conductivity – with non-oxidizing nickel-coated copper material

    Resists oxidation and corrosion – Download the Accelerated 20-Year Cycle Test Results.

    Reduces installation time – four days for a typical MRI scan room

    Reduces product and installation cost – compared with panel-shielding

PDC MRI RF Shielding for superior attenuation, long-term performance and design flexibility

RF Honeycomb HVAC Waveguides

Honeycomb waveguides can be manufactured to fit any size HVAC duct. The waveguides are manufactured from 1″ thick brass honeycomb with 3/16″ diameter cells to ensure superior shielding effectiveness, minimal air flow resistance and pressure drop.

  • Learn More

    Solid brass frames are continuously soldered to the honeycomb to ensure long- term shielding effectiveness and reliability. Exceptional for pressure relief penetrations. PDC manufactures waveguides to custom fit each duct penetration.

Magnetic Steel Shielding

Custom designed and installed steel shielding reduces the magnetic fringe field when required for safety purposes or to eliminate the possibility of adverse effects to other equipment. PDC will assist with the design and specification of the magnetic shield and provide a detailed bid for the installation.

Contact Matt Boesel for more information or assistance design and specifications.

RF Shielded Windows

PDC RF shielded windows are built-to-size based on your needs and provide exceptional visibility from both sides of the screen. Windows can be manufactured as stand-alone units for patient and technician viewing, or as complete exterior RF window assemblies to precisely align with the building’s existing exterior window system.

  • Learn More

    Key Features:

    • Highly conductive and corrosion-resistant tin-plated RF screen and frame material
    • Fully soldered system for long-term RF attenuation
    • 1/4” tempered glass fixed to each side of RF screen
    • Meets or exceeds all MRI manufacturers RF attenuation requirements
    • Acoustic STC rated assemblies available
