Unpredictable timing of the in-patient MR imaging at our center and potential scheduling conflicts between the MR imaging and EEG technologists used to result in significant time lost in EEG recording by the MR imagingincompatible system. 19 0 obj Full surface adhesion, supported full cover backing. Accordingly, in the construct of the ECG cables, there is a need to utilize only materials that are non-magnetic so that the cable cannot be displaced (pulled, torqued) by the MR scanner's strong static magnetic field. 6 This setup permits artifact-free imaging of the patients' heads in a 1.5T MR imaging scanner with the EEG electrodes attached. You have a cart already in session. For example, the fastening mechanisms 20 can include clips, snaps, hook and loop fasteners, etc. Interest is also growing in MRI-guided interventions and surgery, where patients lie in the magnet for more time, and the level of risk, such as of an acute ischemic event (restricted blood flow), or incurring Ventricular Tachycardia (rapid heartbeat) or Ventricular Fibrillation (cardiac arrest), is inherently greater. The description of the ECG cable bundle is discussed with respect to FIGS. Sorry, there is an internal server error. Price: $257.00. 4 can be adapted for use as a traditional ECG cable.
