The
MRI challenge
D-21719-2009

Flexibility is a great thing. In the proper setting, flexibility can help save both time and money,
helping to improve overall efficiency. Every now and then, however, the need for a dedicated
solution arises. Some applications are so demanding, so specialized, that they require a
solution that was designed solely to serve that special purpose.

MRI is one of those specialized tasks. Restricted access,

high throughput, limited space and strong magnetic fields
can pose challenging workflow problems. In many parts of
the world, hybrid diagnostic/therapeutic suites are emerging
as the new gold standard for advanced treatment strategies.
When one considers the high cost and complex logistics of
building a modern MRI suite, it quickly becomes obvious that
there is little or no margin for error. Once you build it, it’s
pretty much set in stone. It has to be done right the first time.

ANAESTHESIA AND MRI

There are many reasons why anaesthesia plays such a
pivotal role in MRI diagnostics. A significant number of
patients are critically ill and require ventilation support
during both transport and imaging. Small children and
neonates generally require sedation in order to eliminate
motion artefacts. Neurosurgeons are now using MRI directly
in the operating room to provide integrated planning and
guidance for new and complex procedures. Other patients,
while otherwise stable, suffer from claustrophobia and can’t
tolerate the confined conditions inside a tomography unit
without sedation. There’s no doubt: to get the most out of
any MRI diagnostic unit, you need integrated anaesthesia.

But the question remains: Is your anaesthesia workstation

up to the challenge of the MRI environment?

the MR conditional Fabius MRI has been tested for use with
MRI systems of 1.5 and 3 Tesla and can be safely operated at
field strengths of 40 mtesla (400 gauss) from the tomography

the compliance and dead space issues involved. Now you
can perform valuable diagnostics with enhanced confidence
and safety.
