Patient throughput
and comfort are improved. Patient
manipulation, software adjustment,
and scan analysis time are all
minimized, resulting in major
cost savings.
Accusorb MRI® physically
restricts the scanner’s
field of view (via radio frequency
absorption and isolation) keeping
unwanted areas outside the established
field from wrapping into the
image. .
Accusorb MRI® uses advanced
flexible RF absorbers and thermal
barriers to prevent heating
of the blanket so the patient
remains safe and comfortable
throughout the scan. Accusorb
MRI® is reusable and has
a long product life.
Accusorb MRI® products are
available in sizes and shapes
designed to cover specific body
areas. They can also be custom
made to virtually any shape
for use in new applications
in and around the MRI environment.
The Accusorb MRI® story
began in 1983 when Millimeter
Wave Technology began as a
spin-off from the Georgia
Tech Research Institute. MWT
developed a range of state
of the art radar absorbing
materials in the late 1980’s.
These products were used for
RF (radio frequency) energy
management in the wireless
telecommunications sector,
among others. In 2004, in
response to inquiries from
the medical industry, MWT
developed its first RF absorbing
product specifically designed
to enhance MRI imaging. Today,
Accusorb MRI® is being
used in hospitals & imaging
centers worldwide.
