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. Can the Nuclear AP Head Immobilizer be used safely in MRI environments?

Yes. The Nuclear AP Head Immobilizer with Strap is made from non-metallic, non-conductive materials designed for use in MRI Zones III and IV. It can remain in the scan room without creating image artifacts or affecting field uniformity. Facilities should verify product labeling to confirm it is MR Conditional for their specific MRI system, typically approved at 1.5 T or 3 T field strengths.

2. How does the head immobilizer improve imaging accuracy and patient comfort?

This device provides secure, repeatable head stabilization for anterior–posterior imaging, minimizing motion and ensuring consistent head alignment. The adjustable Velcro strap helps maintain position throughout the scan while the foam contour design reduces pressure and improves comfort—important for longer procedures or nuclear medicine studies requiring stillness.

3. Is the Nuclear AP Head Immobilizer compatible with modalities besides MRI?

Yes. In addition to MRI, this immobilizer can be used in CT, Ultrasound, and Nuclear Medicine imaging. Its lightweight design makes it easy to reposition and integrate into multi-modality workflows, allowing technologists to use one dependable positioning tool across multiple imaging suites.

4. How does this immobilizer compare to standard MRI head supports or cushions?

Unlike basic foam cradles, the Nuclear AP Head Immobilizer with Strap includes a secure adjustable restraint system, giving technologists more control over head stability. It’s especially useful for precise AP alignment in MRI or nuclear imaging where motion artifacts can compromise scan quality. It’s a reliable upgrade for facilities prioritizing accuracy and patient comfort in high-demand imaging settings.
