Active compensation systems for randomly variable magnetic fields.
Itel provides and install magnetic shielding solutions, also for high fields MRI systems, which are calculated and simulated through a specialized software solution, in order to ensure maximum magnetic confinement according to the site’s specific conditions.
For the most challenging installations, ITEL is able to solve all magnetic field interferences by means of active compensation systems.

Magnetic shielding solutions for MRI systems
Generally speaking, the magnetic shielding process consists of a partial or total installation of special steel plates on the walls of a room. While a partial installation is limited only to one wall, a complete installation provides shielding for all walls (including floor and roof).
Special attention must be paid to the choice of the material, whose physical-chemical features along with its thickness may vary according to the circumstances and depend not only on the final result sought, but also on the site’s specific environmental situation.
The design of a (partial or total) shielded room should also carefully consider the features of the MRI system and requires therefore an accurate computing analysis which could foresee the effects on the confinement of the dispersed magnetic field and most of all the field homogeneity of the MRI system, particularly where the employment of spectroscopic techniques is envisaged.
