ABSTRACT:
A MR compatible monitoring system has a fiber optic data link between the patient monitor and the control room display/keyboard in a magnetic resonance imaging suite to allow for continuous monitoring of a patient's vital signs and provides critical care patients with the same diagnostic options as stable patients. The patient monitor is mounted on the far end of a magnetic resonance compatible patient transporter. The patient transporter sends video data and receives control data from the control room. During the imaging, the patient monitor is located within the magnet room. Magnetic resonance imaging systems are very sensitive to radio frequency interference (RFI) from other equipment and may produce image artifacts because of this interference. Using a fiber optic data link between the patient monitor near the magnet and the control room will minimize the potential RFI.
