ETS-Lindgren to Showcase RF Shielding Products and Services at Leading Conference for Medical Imaging Management – AHRA
CEDAR PARK, Texas, July 7, 2022 –
ETS-Lindgren will display innovative products and services for MRI shielding at
AHRA’s 50th Annual Meeting and Exposition from July 10 to 13 at the
Phoenix Convention Center in Phoenix, Arizona.
AHRA – The Association for Medical Imaging Management – represents
management at all levels of hospital imaging departments, freestanding imaging
centers, and group practices. ETS-Lindgren’s
ground-breaking products on display at AHRA 2022 include the EVO™ Series of MRI RF Shielded Doors as well as novel accessories such as ClearShield™ S-Glass, an Oxygen Monitoring System (OMS), and a portable handheld MRI Patient Scanner. ETS-Lindgren’s engineers and service support
team will also be on hand to discuss the company’s maintenance programs and
consulting services.
“We are excited to return to AHRA
and be able to meet with attending members face to face,” said Joel Kellogg, ETS-Lindgren's
Global Director of Marketing. “ETS-Lindgren
is committed to partnering with AHRA’s medical imaging professionals. We value our role in supporting the
development of professional leadership in medical imaging management and supplying
the products and services they need to advance technology in our industry.”
Visitors to ETS-Lindgren’s Exhibit
Booth #605 on July 10 to 13 will see examples of the latest RF Shielding Solutions
for facilities that house one of medicine’s most powerful diagnostic tools –
MRI scanners. A “cutaway” model on
display provides an example of RF Shielded Enclosure construction for MRI
facilities. “For decades we have worked
with the medical imaging community to provide products and services to support
not only the MRI scanner, but also the imaging staff and their patients,” stated
Mr. Kellogg. “These powerful magnetic
scanners require superior RF shielding to ensure peak performance, providing
high-quality images for radiologists and their patients. At AHRA, we appreciate our dialogue with
healthcare facilities management professionals about our state-of-the-art
products and services.”
For
industry-leading MRI door technology, the EVO Series of MRI RF Shielded Doors are designed to provide reliable, low-maintenance service for
use in rigorous MRI environments. To
facilitate access into and out of the MRI suite, this manual door is equipped
with an easy-open, lever-style handle with minimal force required for
operation. Customers who are frustrated
by opening and closing their cumbersome MRI doors are relieved by the
low-friction, aesthetically pleasing EVO door.
With its low-profile, ADA-compliant threshold, the door facilitates
effortless patient gurney transfers and easy cleaning, especially useful for
surgical applications. But perhaps the
most important feature of the EVO door is its acoustic performance, with Sound
Transmission Class (STC) rating choices of 28, 34, 40, and 44 (49 dB of sound
reduction at frequencies of concern).
These ratings ensure a quieter, calmer environment near the MRI suite
for staff and patients.
One of
ETS-Lindgren’s latest developments, ClearShield S-Glass, provides a privacy option integrated into a high-performance RF
window. S-Glass utilizes Liquid Crystal
(LC) technology within the window to provide a dynamic privacy option. DMX controllers provide the ability to switch
from clear to opaque or select the desired level of opaqueness, eliminating the
need to clean and maintain unwieldly blinds.
Experience this LC technology, available on all ETS-Lindgren ClearShield
Windows and Door Windows, in Booth #605.
To
ensure the safety of MRI patients and healthcare facilities personnel,
ETS-Lindgren's Oxygen
Monitoring System (OMS) is a sample draw monitoring system that alerts and
alarms when oxygen levels fall below safe limits for human health. Under normal conditions, the air we breathe
contains an oxygen concentration of 20.9%.
Anything less than 19.5% is considered a health hazard. The OMS monitors
the air in MRI rooms, labs, freezers, confined spaces, and other locations
where inert gases such as helium, nitrogen and argon may displace the oxygen
and create a danger for patients and staff.
Featuring a maintenance-free Zirconium Sensor and average 10-year sensor
life, the OMS can be used indoors or outdoors.
See the OMS on display in Booth #605 and learn more about its impressive
performance capabilities.
ETS-Lindgren’s
handheld MRI Patient Scanner is a portable metal detector that combines high sensitivity
to ferromagnetic metals with immunity to non-ferromagnetic metals. The MRI Patient Scanner has three analysis
modes (Head, Body, and All-Metals) that are selectable via the easy-to-use
keyboard interface. Usage provides an
indication of any metals present inside the patient and knowledge of their
magnetic susceptibility prior to an MRI procedure. With the results of the scan, as well as written
and verbal questionnaires, MRI staff may evaluate the risk situation and be
confident in making the most appropriate decisions for optimal patient and
facility care. Visitors to Booth #605
can see a live demo of the MRI Patient Scanner.
