Vendors Supporting MRI Education

It's the last in my series of short articles thanking sponsors for supporting MRI education. Today it's the turn of Metrasens , Silver Sponsors of Emanuel Kanal 's MRMD/MRSO course in London to tell us their story.

Why do Metrasens wish to sponsor this event?

You all take MRI Safety seriously – so do we. We’re excited to meet the delegates to continue the discussion regarding the importance of ferromagnetic detection (FMD) systems to ensure patient, staff, and visitor safety in an MRI suite. Metrasens FMD systems prove to be the difference in avoiding incidents and accidents time and, time, again. Despite careful and guideline-compliant screening procedures, adverse events and projectile incidents are on the rise and present a significant risk within MRI facilities. Metrasens works to help achieve, and exceed, MRI safety best practices.

Thank you and tell me about your products please

I see, and what is Metrasens’ story? ?

Headquartered in Malvern, UK, with a commercial hub in Lisle, USA, and a global network of distributors, Metrasens products are present in over 60 countries. Metrasens was founded in 2005 by Dr. Simon Goodyear, Dr. Mark Keene, and Matt Wooliscroft, who saw in our innovative detection technology a solution to the security and safety challenges presented by conventional metal detection systems. Led by innovation, Metrasens is an expert at distilling complexity into simplicity, taking the science from the laboratory and using it to create revolutionary products that are effective, flexible, easy to use, and that meet and exceed the needs of our customers.

Our non-emitting, passive and safe detection technology detects disturbances in the earth’s magnetic field caused by moving ferrous objects. Highly sensitive and precise, our products are capable of detecting a wide range of threat items on or inside a person’s body, from needles and razors, through recording devices, to guns and other weapons of mass destruction. Based on our customers’ security and safety needs, our systems are set up, deployed, and used in various applications, from prisons and correctional facilities to hospitals, mental health centers, ticketed venues, and more.

At Metrasens, customers get more than just the most advanced ferromagnetic detection systems for their MRI suite, they get a partner focused on helping implement MRI safety best practices.

That's interesting and what will delegates find when they visit your stand??

Delegates will be able to meet with our Metrasens representative and discuss how they can see the unseen risks in the MRI suite with our Metrasens FMD Systems that work together to elevate MRI Safety.

Many thanks. We look forward to meeting the? Metrasens team very soon.
