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 Cervical Head Rest be used safely in an MRI environment?

Yes. The Cervical Head Rest is made from non-metallic, non-conductive materials that meet MRI safety requirements for use in Zones III and IV. It can remain in the scan room during imaging without causing artifacts or magnetic interference. Facilities should always confirm the product labeling to verify its MR Conditional status and ensure proper use at approved 1.5 T or 3 T field strengths.

2. How does the Cervical Head Rest help improve image quality and patient comfort?

This positioning aid helps maintain natural cervical spine alignment by gently supporting the head and neck during scanning. It keeps patients stable, reducing motion that can blur images. The ergonomic shape also relieves pressure and provides a more comfortable setup—especially important for longer MRI, CT, or ultrasound procedures.

3. What imaging applications can the Cervical Head Rest be used for?

The Cervical Head Rest is designed for multi-modality use, including MRI, CT, Nuclear Medicine, Ultrasound, and General Positioning. Its lightweight build allows for quick setup and repositioning, making it a reliable tool across imaging departments that need consistent support and alignment for a wide range of patient exams.

4. How does the Cervical Head Rest compare to other MRI positioning aids?

Unlike standard foam pads, the Cervical Head Rest is contoured to lift and support the skull, ensuring neutral spine positioning and minimizing neck strain. It’s ideal for use in both diagnostic and interventional imaging where consistent cervical alignment is critical. Many facilities use it alongside MRI Med’s multipad positioning sets for full-body stabilization and patient comfort.
