Abstract:
A magnetic resonance (MR) safe touchscreen display (10) includes a touchscreen (16) and a film (30, 32) that has a high frequency shielding layer (20, 28) and a low frequency shielding layer (18, 26). A bus bar (14) conductively couples the low frequency shielding layer (18, 26) to the high frequency shielding layer (20, 28) around a perimeter of a face of the film (30, 32) and the edge of the film (30, 32). The film (30, 32) is adjacent to a rear face of the touchscreen (16). The bus bar (14) facilitates the connection of the touchscreen (16) and layers (18, 20) to the display (12) to form a Faraday cage around the display components contained within the display housing (11).
Abstract:
A magnetic resonance (MR) safe cable (10) includes four or more controlled resistance electrically conductive wires (12) disposed in a parallel planar configuration, and a stiff non-proton emitting substrate (14) which holds the four or more controlled resistance conductive wires in the parallel planar configuration. The wires (12) terminating at one end in connectors which electrically connect to ECG electrodes (64) which are attached to the subject. The cable is configured to extend the one end into an imaging region of an MR scanner (62) during imaging to carry ECG signals to associated equipment.
