MRI Scanners

Maximize Image Integrity, Minimize Downtime

Advanced Power Filtration for
Magnetic Resonance Imaging (“MRI”) Scanners

Overview

The Rad-X Filter (“RXF”) offers a more suitable solution for safeguarding your MRI scanners than conventional power conditioners and uninterruptible power supply (UPS) systems. Each RXF unit is custom configured specifically for the Make and Model of your MRI scanner and the final circuit that directly powers your MRI.

Benefits

Implementing RXF results in several operational advantages, including reduced MRI downtime, fewer MRI service calls, decreased need for replacing MRI electronic components, minimized intermittent issues or MRI system lockups, and increased longevity of your MRI scanner.

Technical Features

The RXF is designed as a low-pass, bi-directional, pi-configuration power filtration system that utilizes reactors and capacitors, along with transient voltage surge suppression (TVSS). Its primary function is to attenuate high frequency electrical noise and low voltage impulses through three main mechanisms:

  1. It prevents electrical noise generated by the MRI gradients (load-generated) from echoing back into the MRI.
  2. It blocks electrical noise produced by external sources (line-generated) from infiltrating the MRI.
  3. It stops electrical noise generated by the MRI gradients from affecting other devices on the same electrical circuit.

Additional Capabilities

In addition to attenuating high frequency electrical noise and low voltage impulses, the RXF effectively suppresses power spikes, transients, low frequency impulses, and even lightning strikes.

Installation and Warranty

The RXF is wall-mounted, preserving valuable floor space. It is backed by a five-year warranty, and there is no requirement for a service contract.
