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.
