Don’t risk image quality, compliance, or your schedule by treating RF/EMI shielding like an afterthought. We handle the whole shielding scope end-to-end—so it works in the real world, not just on paper.
Healthcare & Imaging Shielding FAQ
Common spaces include MRI RF rooms, CT and PET/CT support areas, interventional imaging rooms, EEG/MEG environments, lab spaces with sensitive instrumentation, and any clinical area where electromagnetic interference (EMI) can affect equipment performance or patient care.
RF shielding blocks radiofrequency energy that can cause noise and artifacts in images—this is the copper/aluminum “RF room” side.
Magnetic shielding manages static fringe fields around MRI magnets—typically steel or specialty materials used to contain or shape the field. Many projects need both, but they solve different problems.
If you’re installing an MRI, you will almost always need an RF enclosure and may need magnetic shielding depending on magnet strength, site constraints, and adjacencies. For other modalities, shielding needs depend on equipment sensitivity, nearby RF sources, building infrastructure, and clinical layout.
Typical sources include cellular antennas and DAS systems, nearby radio transmitters, elevators and motors, power converters/VFDs, HVAC equipment, adjacent electrical rooms, Wi-Fi access points, and poorly planned cable pathways or penetrations.
Yes—deliverables typically include shielding design, attenuation requirements, details for walls/ceilings/floors, penetration schedules, door and window specs, grounding/bonding notes, and coordination drawings suitable for submittals, installation, and review.
Yes. We align deliverables with manufacturer requirements and local code expectations and can support responses during OEM review, plan check, and AHJ questions to keep approvals moving.
Attenuation requirements depend on the modality, site environment, and manufacturer specs. MRI RF rooms typically target a defined performance level across frequency bands; we help determine what’s appropriate for your project and document it clearly for bidding and testing.
Yes—coordination is the difference between “it should work” and “it passed.” We coordinate penetrations, cable paths, doors, waveguides, and interface conditions with the architect, MEP, GC, and installer so the room is buildable and testable.
We can support or coordinate performance testing so the installed shielding meets the specified attenuation and acceptance criteria. If issues appear, we help isolate likely causes and resolve them efficiently.
Yes—retrofits are common. We design for tight footprints, phased work, infection control realities, and maintaining clinical operations, while still delivering a room that passes final testing.
