Magnetic Resonance Imaging
Image quality, homogeneity and precision
High-quality MRI images require a strong magnetic field that is extremely homogeneous in the target area. Typical field strengths are 0.2 to 7 Tesla (T), with a maximum allowable inhomogeneity on the order of a few parts per million (ppm).
To achieve this degree of homogeneity, MRI manufacturers measure the magnetic field and correct it, using special coils and/or small pieces of iron, in a process called shimming. The ability to measure strong magnetic fields with extreme precision is therefore critical in the development, production and installation of MRI systems.
A single instrument for the whole industrial cycle
As world leaders in this extremely challenging area of magnetic measurement, we have conceived our teslameter systems to support all phases of your product cycle:
MRI Magnet Development
The development of a new MRI system requires a rapid and reliable magnetic measurement system to verify and perfect the magnet model. Our standard product line covers most of your needs in this area.

MRI Magnet Production
High precision magnetic measurements in a factory environment represent a tremendous challenge, as even the distant passing of large iron objects such as an overhead crane or a fork-lift cause major field distortions. Only rapid, precise and reliable measurements allow technicians to recognize and avoid such spurious effects.

MRI Installation
Installing an MRI system is a complex operation that occupies two technicians for days. After site preparation, the first step is to install the magnet and to shim it to compensate for disturbances in the magnet itself as well those specific to the environment.
