EMC solutions provider\u00a0EMIS<\/strong><\/a>\u00a0 announces the availability of the MF420-2CF-M MRI Filter, a specialised electrical filter for use in Magnetic Resonance Imaging rooms to block unwanted electromagnetic interference (EMI) and radio-frequency interference (RFI) from entering or leaving the MRI environment.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Designing or selecting an EMI filter for high-field MRI systems is very different from general electronics filtering as MRI environments are extremely sensitive to RF noise and require shielded-room integrity as well ultra-high attenuation across wide frequency bands.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

EMI filters are critical in MRI High-field systems which operate with very low-level RF signals in an environment featuring strong static magnetic fields. External EMI contamination can degrade signal-to-noise ratio, create artifacts in images and cause regulatory non-compliance. Even cables entering the MRI room can act as antennas and leak noise into the shielded enclosure.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

MRI EMC filters provide strong suppression of unwanted signals over a wide frequency range up to 10GHz, preventing external noise from affecting MRI signals and ensuring high-quality diagnostic images. These filters are typically installed at the point where power lines or signal cables enter an MRI shielded room, for example:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

1. Power line filters – Main AC supply (single\/three-phase), Gradient amplifiers, RF amplifiers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

2. Signal line filters – Ethernet \/ data lines, patient monitoring systems, fire alarms, intercoms, sensors.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

MRI filters are specially designed to meet the strict performance requirements of equipment manufacturers and ensure compatibility with high-field MRI systems and sensitive imaging processes. The filter components are enclosed in a shielded and sealed metallic housing that protects against dust, moisture, and corrosion ensuring long-lasting performance.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
