For enhanced patient safety, ETS-Lindgren’s MRI Patient Scanner conveniently identifies harmful ferromagnetic materials that are dangerous within the MRI suite environment. The MRI Patient Scanner is a portable, handheld metal detector that combines high sensitivity to ferromagnetic metals with immunity to non-ferromagnetic metals. The scanner has three analysis modes that are selectable via the easy-to-use keypad. With options for detecting both ferromagnetic and non-ferromagnetic metal objects, the MRI Patient Scanner helps radiologists identify anything on or in the patient that should not be near the strong magnetic field area of an MRI suite. With the MRI Patient Scanner, non-ferrous objects are quickly detected to reduce the risk of potential RF burn threats to a patient. See a demonstration of the MRI Patient Scanner in ETS-Lindgren’s Booth 3236.

Visitors to ETS-Lindgren's booth will also see a digital Magnetic Active Compensation System (MACS/D). Designed for urban MRI sites with frequent high-level interfering field levels, MACS/D provides cost-effective, maintenance-free high-performance attenuation of dynamic environmental magnetic fields for MRI sites. MACS/D incorporates patented ACR technology, providing higher compensation at the magnet’s isocenter than other active compensation systems, with effective attenuation factors in the isocenter of up to 350 versus 40 or fewer attainable by competing systems. Additionally, MACS/D’s high-efficiency, low-dissipation coil-driver amplifier ensures long-term system reliability.


One of ETS-Lindgren’s latest developments, ClearShield S-Glass provides a privacy option integrated into a high-performance RF window. S-Glass utilizes Liquid Crystal (LC) technology within the window to provide a dynamic privacy option. DMX controllers afford the ability to switch from clear to opaque or select the desired level of opaqueness, eliminating the need to clean and maintain cumbersome blinds. Experience this LC technology, available on all ETS-Lindgren ClearShield Windows and Door Windows, in Booth 3236.

ETS-Lindgren appreciates the importance of a calming environment for MRI patient care, as well as the need to prevent adverse RF interference. With ETS-Lindgren's Med-Vizion ZXR LED Down Lighting, technologists can adjust the lighting level of an MRI suite with convenient dimmers. On display in Booth 3236, this high-performance, light-emitting diode downlight has no UV, IR, or RF emissions and features engineered heat displacement, which prevents premature LED failure. Without filaments, the LEDs are unaffected by magnetic fields. In addition, Med-Vizion ZXR LED Down Lighting produces the equivalent of a 175-watt incandescent light using only 32 watts of power, ensuring energy cost savings and a long life.
