MR Safe What does this mean?

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 – 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 – 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.

The Sat Pad Prostate Kit is an advanced MRI accessory designed to enhance magnetic resonance imaging performance by improving the homogeneity of the local magnetic field and eliminating air-tissue interfaces. This enhancement leads to clearer imaging for sequences such as chemical shift fat saturation and gradient echo parameters. Beyond its imaging functions, the Sat Pad also ensures patient comfort and stability, significantly reducing motion artifacts during scans. This innovative solution minimizes the need for repeat scans and manual fat saturation techniques, streamlining imaging workflows while enhancing throughput and patient satisfaction.

By reducing patient motion, the Sat Pad enables faster and more efficient workflows, saving substantial time on imaging procedures. Clinics utilizing the Sat Pad have noted reductions of 3 to 6 imaging sequences per day, equivalent to saving between 30 to 60 minutes daily or up to five hours weekly. This improved efficiency allows facilities to accommodate up to five additional patients weekly, resulting in approximately $2,500 in increased billing revenue per week. The Sat Pad not only optimizes imaging capabilities but also supports staff productivity and accuracy in image interpretation.

The Sat Pad Breast Imaging Kits are specifically engineered to address the challenges of fat saturation and contrast inconsistencies in breast imaging. These kits are available for various coil configurations, including 4-channel, 7-channel, 8-channel, and 12-channel systems, ensuring compatibility with a range of MRI equipment. Each kit employs perfluorocarbon fluid, a substance devoid of hydrogen atoms and with magnetic susceptibility closely aligned with human tissue. This ensures the pads do not contribute any additional signals to the MRI image, maintaining precise and interference-free imaging quality.

By reducing the influence of the human body's geometry on magnetic flux, these imaging kits improve the uniformity of the primary magnetic field. Specifically designed to address the challenges posed by sharp-angled anatomies, such as the breast and chest walls, the Sat Pad Breast Kits attenuate field distortions and eliminate air-tissue interfaces. This process creates a more spherical target area, enhancing imaging clarity for complex structures. Each Sat Pad is backed by a comprehensive 3-year warranty, providing confidence in its durability and performance.
