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

What is the MRI ACR Phantom Cradle used for?

The MRI ACR Phantom Cradle is designed to secure and position ACR MRI phantoms during quality control and accreditation testing. It keeps the phantom stable and centered at isocenter, which is essential for accurate measurements of geometric distortion, signal uniformity, and slice thickness. By holding the phantom firmly in place, the cradle helps ensure repeatable and precise QA scans across testing sessions.

Is the MRI ACR Phantom Cradle MR Safe for use inside the MRI room?

Yes. The ACR Phantom Cradle is constructed from non-metallic, non-magnetic materials, making it MR Safe according to ASTM F2503 terminology. It contains no ferromagnetic parts and can be safely used in all MRI zones, including Zone IV (the magnet room), without posing any risk to equipment or image quality.

Which MRI systems is this phantom cradle compatible with?

The MRI ACR Phantom Cradle is compatible with major MRI system manufacturers, including GE, Siemens, Philips, Hitachi, and Toshiba. Each version is tailored for the specific geometry of the scanner’s head coil, ensuring a secure fit and proper alignment. Customers can select the correct cradle for their system from MRI Med’s product dropdown menu.

How does the ACR Phantom Cradle improve accuracy and workflow during MRI QA testing?

This cradle enables fast and repeatable phantom positioning—usually in under a minute—so technologists can complete QA procedures quickly and consistently. Adjustable set screws let users fine-tune alignment for each scanner’s coil, helping reduce human error and ensuring that every test meets ACR accreditation standards for reproducibility and image accuracy.

How can I order the correct ACR Phantom Cradle for my MRI scanner?

MRI Med offers cradles customized for different MRI systems, listed by manufacturer and model. Orders typically ship within 48 hours (Mon–Fri, PST) for stocked models, and custom configurations are available upon request. All cradles are made in the USA and built for long-term durability. For help selecting the right cradle, contact MRI Med’s support team at 707-762-8600 during business hours.
