Designing EMI Shielding Enclosures for Sensitive Medical Imaging Equipment

Quick fact

A single small gap or unfiltered power cable in an MRI room's shielding can let in radio-frequency interference strong enough to distort images, while a properly sealed enclosure can block more than 99.9999% of external fields.

Why this is interesting

Ever wonder why MRI rooms are filled with heavy metal walls and mesh windows? They're not just structural—they're a fortress against invisible electrical noise that could degrade your scans.
