MRI Shielding Retrofit & Upgrades
Upgrading an existing MRI suite? We design RF shielding retrofits that actually work in the real world—tight, compliant, and inspection-ready. From field verification to calculations, drawings, and coordination, we keep your upgrade moving and your room interference-free.
Before/After
Designed for compliance. Built for performance.
We deliver complete MRI RF shielding retrofits and upgrades—calculations, details, and coordination—to support installation, testing, and final acceptance.
From shielded to scan-ready
By the numbers
Experts in MRI Retrofits
Proven MRI shielding design support—from first calc to final closeout. Fast turnarounds, clean coordination, predictable outcomes.
One team, from assessment to sign-off
Don’t gamble with image quality, scanner uptime, or your budget by patching RF shielding that wasn’t built (or maintained) to perform.
Less Downtime, Fewer Surprises
Retrofits live and die on what’s behind the walls. We start with field verification and practical details—clear scope, coordinated drawings, and install-ready guidance—so you avoid rework, delays, and “we didn’t know that was there” moments.
Code-Ready, Inspection-Ready Upgrade Packages
We deliver the full retrofit design set—calculations, drawings, and documentation aligned with applicable standards and your project requirements. The result: a cleaner path to approvals, testing, and final turnover.
Fast Turnarounds for Retrofits & Equipment Upgrades
Whether you’re replacing an RF door, adding penetrations, relocating equipment, or refreshing a tired cage, we move quickly from site conditions to a buildable plan—so you can schedule work windows confidently and get the magnet back online sooner.
Coordination for MEP, Doors, Penetrations, and Patches
Shielding problems usually come from the details: HVAC, electrical, medical gas, waveguides, filters, door frames, and post-install patches. We coordinate these early so your retrofit seals correctly, performs as intended, and passes testing the first time.
Common Questions for MRI Retrofits
You should consider a retrofit when you’re seeing recurring image artifacts, unexplained noise, failed or borderline RF test results, door/penetration leakage, or when the room is being modified for new equipment, new cabling, or different workflow. “Patching” can work for small, obvious issues, but it often misses hidden contributors like unsealed penetrations, degraded gasket surfaces, improper bonding/grounding, or changes made over the years by multiple trades. A proper retrofit starts with field verification of existing conditions and then designs a targeted solution that restores shielding integrity, supports the current MRI system, and reduces the risk of repeated service calls, rework, and downtime.
A typical MRI RF shielding retrofit includes site verification, review of existing drawings (if available), identification of leakage paths and high-risk details, and a design package that’s ready for construction and inspection. That package commonly includes calculations and performance requirements, coordinated drawings for RF door(s), waveguides, filters, penetrations, patch details, and interfaces with HVAC, electrical, and medical gas where applicable. We also coordinate with the project team so the retrofit is buildable—meaning the details reflect real field conditions, access constraints, and sequencing. The goal is to deliver a clear plan that minimizes surprises, reduces change orders, and supports acceptance testing so the room can return to service quickly and confidently.
Downtime is controlled by planning around real site conditions and designing the retrofit to fit the work window, not the other way around. We prioritize early field verification, identify scope items that commonly expand late (doors, penetrations, patching, coordination with MEP), and produce drawings that installers can execute without guesswork. When needed, we help sequence work so disruptive activities are consolidated and testing is scheduled at the right time—after critical sealing, bonding, and penetrations are complete. The result is fewer last-minute discoveries, fewer re-visits to fix leaks, and a smoother path to passing RF performance testing so your MRI can get back to scanning with minimal disruption.
