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. Is the Left Adult Lateral Finger Block safe for MRI use?

Yes. The Left Adult Lateral Finger Block is made from non-magnetic, non-conductive materials and is labeled MR Conditional per ASTM F2503 standards. It can be safely used within MRI Zones III and IV, including the bore, at standard 1.5 T and 3 T field strengths. Always confirm product labeling before use to ensure compliance with your scanner’s conditions.

2. What is this finger positioning block used for?

This block is designed to stabilize and correctly position the left hand and wrist for high-resolution scans. It supports the hand in a true lateral position, minimizing patient movement and reducing artifacts. It’s especially useful for musculoskeletal imaging where fine joint detail and alignment consistency are essential.

3. Can this block be used for other imaging modalities besides MRI?

Absolutely. While optimized for MRI, the Left Adult Lateral Finger Block is also compatible with CT, Ultrasound, and Nuclear Medicine. Its durable and lightweight design allows quick repositioning between modalities, helping technologists streamline patient setup and maintain consistent anatomy alignment across studies.
