MR Safe What does this mean?
MR Safe

MR Safe – an item that poses no known hazards in all MRI environments. Using the terminology, “MR Safe” items are non-conducting, non-metallic, and non-magnetic items such as a plastic Petri dish. An item may be determined to be MR Safe by providing a scientifically based rationale rather than test data.

MR Conditional

MR Conditional – an item that has been demonstrated to pose no known hazards in a specified MR environment with specified conditions of use. “Field” conditions that define the MR environment include static magnetic field strength, spatial gradient magnetic field, dB/dt (time rate of change of the magnetic field), radio frequency (RF) fields, and specific absorption rate (SAR). Additional conditions, including specific configurations of the item (e.g., the routing of leads used for a neurostimulation system), may be required.

MR Unsafe

MR Unsafe – An item that is known to pose hazards in all MRI environments. MR Unsafe items include magnetic items such as a pair of ferromagnetic scissors.

Frequently Asked Questions

1. What is the MRI safety status of the 45° Wedge?

The 45° Wedge is made from non-magnetic, non-conductive materials, allowing it to be safely used in MRI Zones III and IV. It can remain in the scan room without affecting image quality or magnetic field performance. The product is MR Conditional, meaning it has been evaluated for use under specific MRI conditions—typically tested at 1.5 T and 3 T field strengths following ASTM F2503 standards.

2. How does the 45° Wedge improve patient comfort and image quality?

This wedge helps patients maintain stable and comfortable positioning during imaging, reducing motion and pressure on joints or soft tissue. The 45-degree angle supports natural body alignment, making it especially useful for back, hip, or lower-extremity scans. By preventing unwanted movement, it helps technologists achieve clearer, more consistent diagnostic images with fewer retakes.

3. Can the 45° Wedge be used across different imaging modalities?

Yes. While designed for MRI, the 45° Wedge is also suitable for CT, Ultrasound, and Nuclear Medicine applications. Its lightweight and durable construction makes it easy to reposition between tables and imaging systems. Many facilities standardize on this wedge across multiple departments to streamline workflow and improve consistency in patient setup.

4. What size options are available, and how do I choose the right one?

MRI Med offers the 45° Wedge in multiple sizes to fit different patient types and procedures—from compact 3-inch models for small-area support to larger 30-inch versions for full lower-extremity positioning. When choosing, consider patient body size, imaging region, and scanner table width. Most facilities stock a range of sizes for maximum flexibility across MRI, CT, and general positioning needs.
