Hasenstab Architects Designs Building to House Powerful MRI Machine at Cleveland Clinic

MRICleveland

A new building at the Cleveland Clinic was designed by Hasenstab Architects to house one of the world’s most powerful MRI machines. It is the only 7 Telsa full-body MRI in northeast Ohio and one of a dozen in the USA. The project required the use of a crane to lower the 80,000-pound magnet, manufactured by Agilent, through an opening in the roof.

Each of the 7 Telsa MRI machines are unique and there are no standard protocols for the design of the isolation system, the project was challenging from the delivery of the equipment to poor soil conditions that required the use of auger cast pilings to stabilize the site. The new room is shielded from all radio interference by a continuous cooper skin on the inside of the room.

A Dash of Maxwell’s: A Maxwell’s Equations Primer – Part One

Solving Maxwell’s Equations for real-life situations, like predicting the RF emissions from a cell tower, requires more mathematical horsepower than any individual mind can muster. These equations don’t give the scientist or engineer just insight, they are literally the answer to everything RF.

The 7T MRI has not been approved for clinical use in the USA, but it can be used for medical research involving diseases such as multiple sclerosis, Alzheimer’s and epilepsy that will allow neuroscience researchers the ability to see clearer images of the brain, sometimes down to the cellular level.
