Rigorous Testing of the MRI-Safe ConRad® Thermal Blanket Assures Safety and Image Clarity
MRI-Safe
- ASTM F21823-11a; tested for 1.5 Tesla and 3 Tesla scanners to be free of any radio frequency induced heating.
- Heat testing by fiber optic thermal sensors and thermal imaging, and revealed no hot spots.
No MRI Signal Loss
- MRI signal testing performed in four (4) different blanket configurations without signal loss.
Clinically Tested to Maintain Body Temperature
- The MRI-Safe ConRad Thermal Blanket has been tested extensively under clinical conditions at a busy Veterinary MRI center and was shown to maintain normothermia.

ConRad Thermal Blanket MRI Signal Testing
The MRI-Safe ConRad Blanket was subjected to MRI signal testing in a 1.5 Tesla MRI scanner by an MRI technologist with the following credentials: ARRT, RT, R, MR. There was no noted MRI signal loss with the ConRad Thermal Blanket in any position with relation to the phantom and the MRI coil.
Sequence 1
-
No Blanket.
-
Phantom and coil only, the Blanket is not within the MRI.
