WAVEGUIDES & PENETRATIONS EEP design, manufacture and install a wide range of RF (radio frequency) shielded waveguides and penetrations which include medical gases pipework, 昀椀bre optic pipe penetrations, gas & water pipes and air conditioning ducts. Fibre optic cables or gases can be fed through dielectric material penetrations without degrading the performance of a shielded room. MRI MAGNETIC FIELD SHIELDING Shielding against magnetic 昀椀elds is crucial in any MRI installation for the safety of people, the MRI scanner itself and other medical equipment in the surrounding area. Magnetic 昀椀elds are generated by permanent magnets, electromagnets, electric motors, electrical distribution systems and MRI scanners. When these magnetic 昀椀elds need to be contained or controlled, EEP can design and install shielding. Shielding against magnetic 昀椀elds created by MRI scanners is extremely important to ensure that: • MRI scanners are una昀昀ected by nearby ferrous masses (e.g. lifts or vehicles). • Medical equipment in an adjacent area can function without interference. • Shielding ensures that a safe environment is created for people 昀椀tted with electronic implants such as a pacemaker. Prior to commencing the full design and installation of the physical magnetic 昀椀eld shielding, EEP can also plot the magnetic lines of force to verify where the magnetic 昀椀eld strength is located. MRI QUENCH PIPES At EEP we are well versed with the cryogenic engineering practices required to cope with the physical impact on the MRI quench pipe system that a helium discharge produces. Helium quench pipes form a crucial part of any super conducting MRI scanner installation. In an emergency, the potentially lethal gaseous liquid helium used in the scanner must be vented directly and safely into the atmosphere, therefore it is paramount the quench pipe system withstands the drastic shift in temperature from ambient to that of liquid helium (-269°C / 4° Kelvin) within seconds. All our installations adhere to stringent installation standards. +44 (0)1799 523 073 | [email protected] | www.euro-emc.co.uk
