Is the Hamilton t1 MRI safe?

MR-Conditional up to 50 mT The HAMILTON-MR1 mechanical ventilator has been specially designed and shielded to ventilate your patient in the vicinity of an MRI scanner. It can accompany your patient from the ICU to the scanner for the duration of the procedure, and back to the ICU, increasing the safety of care.

Are there portable MRI machines?

This fall, M Health Fairview began a trial of a new portable MRI machine – the Hyperfine® Swoop® Portable MR Imaging System™. This technology uses artificial intelligence (AI) to convert the signals detected by the MRI into detailed pictures of the brain. Physicians depend on these images for treatment decisions.

Can you get an MRI while on oxygen?

For patients with known respiratory problems, many MRI facilities are equipped with piped-in oxygen and you may be provided with oxygen during a scan. However, anytime a patient receiving an MRI needs medical attention the very first thing that should happen is that the patient is removed from the MRI room.
