Abstract
A method of operation for a magnetic resonance imaging suite. A power supply of magnetic resonance injector system receives electrical power from an AC power outlet, both of which are located outside of a shielded room of the magnetic resonance imaging suite. Electrical power from the power supply of the magnetic resonance injector system is conveyed (via an appropriate power connection) into the shielded room of the magnetic resonance imaging suite and to a component (e.g., a power head) of the magnetic resonance injector system located inside the shielded room. While this electrical power is being conveyed, radio frequency energy emitted from the power connection is being filtered.
Claims10
A method of operation for an MR injector system, the method comprising:
- a power supply of the injector system receiving AC power from an AC power outlet;
- the power supply converting the AC power received to DC power;
- conveying power from the power supply toward a battery compartment of the injector system;
- filtering radio frequency energy from the power conveyed from the power supply toward the battery compartment of the injector system;
- and
- conveying power from the battery compartment to a power head of the injector system.
