Custom MRI Shielding Solutions
Custom-engineered RF, magnetic, and radiation shielding for healthcare, laboratory, & government facilities.
MXR Imaging delivers custom-engineered, full-service shielding solutions nationally.
We design, build, test, and install complete MRI shielding solutions, including walls, doors, vents, waveguides, floors, windows, and more.
From high-field MRI RF protection to linear accelerator radiation containment, we ensure your diagnostic and therapeutic environments operate with clarity, safety, and compliance. Poor image quality can lead to misdiagnosis. Our services are focused on delivering superior system performance and patient safety.
Protecting Critical Imaging & Diagnostics
Ensure clarity, safety, and compliance. Our core services are engineered to protect your most sensitive diagnostic equipment from all forms of interference.
Radio Frequency (RF) Shielding
Electromagnetic shielding that isolates sensitive equipment by blocking radio frequency radiation. This is essential for eliminating noise and ensuring clean data acquisition in MRI scanners and diagnostic imaging environments.
Key Applications:
- MRI Suites
- Cellular Test Chambers
- Specialty Diagnostic Rooms
- Testing Laboratories
Magnetic (EMI) Shielding
Isolates equipment from static or low-frequency magnetic fields that standard RF enclosures cannot block. We utilize high-permeability silicon steels, such as M-36 magnetic steel, which is a lightweight solution highly effective at containing the fringe magnetic field. The lower density of M-36 makes it ideal for installations, including those above the ground floor.
Key Applications:
- High-Powered Magnets
- Sensitive Microscopes
- Secure Electrical Platforms
- Passive Layering
- Active Cancellation Systems
Radiation (RAD) Shielding
Provides complete containment systems for ionizing radiation. Effectiveness depends on matching shielding materials (e.g., lead, concrete, low-density polymers) to the radiation type and energy (photons, particles).
Key Applications:
- Linear Accelerators and Cyclotrons
- CT/PET/MRI Combinations
- Nuclear Medicine and Proton Therapy
- Holding and Injector Rooms
Full Project Lifecycle Support
We coordinate every step to ensure continuity.
A successful shielding project requires expertise beyond fabrication. We collaborate with your team and utilize our full range of services to ensure your project is completed on time and within budget, with minimal interruption to your patient flow.
Integrated Project Management: Seamless coordination with a dedicated Project Manager to handle design, logistics, and site scheduling.
Imaging Continuity & Relocation: We offer equipment relocation services and access to our state-of-the-art mobile fleet (MRI, CT, PET/CT) for temporary rentals, maintaining imaging continuity during construction.
National Manufacturing & Custom RF Fabrication
Control the quality of your entire shielded room from our US-based facility.
We are experts in ground-up RF MRI room construction and modification. We design and fabricate all core components in-house, ensuring the highest level of customization and quality control.
Full Room Construction & Installation
We use customized paneling systems (galvanized steel, copper, or lead) tailored to project needs. Our installers minimize facility downtime, typically completing full room builds within 3-5 days.
Specialized Components, Windows, & Doors
We are industry leaders in custom medical door construction. Our in-house teams also fabricate one-off components to your exact specifications.
Key Fabricated Components:
- Custom Shielding Doors (solid wood, custom veneer, specialty blowout)
- Custom Windows, Walls, and Floors
- Custom Cryogenic Piping and Quench Vent Systems
- RF Penetration Panels & Waveguides
- Monolithic RF Flooring and Power Filters
Testing, Maintenance, & Compliance Services
We confirm and maintain long-term performance and regulatory compliance for your shielded environment.
We perform comprehensive testing to eliminate artifacts and confirm system integrity for your radiology equipment, ensuring all installations and tests meet the strict guidelines of leading OEM companies.
- Certification & Testing: Radio frequency (RF) testing, magnetic field testing, and radiation leak testing to certify compliance.
- System Repair & Diagnostics: Our national technicians diagnose and correct performance leaks caused by water damage, grounding issues, or simple wear and tear.
- Maintenance Focus: Leak identification and repair, door inspections (hardware, gaskets), and structural modifications for new magnets.
