Ferromagnetic detector developer Kopp Development plans to highlight a new generation of ferromagnetic detectors at the upcoming RSNA show in Chicago.

The Jensen Beach, FL-based company will unveil its FerrAlert Halo Series, which alarms only on detection of ferrous metals and marks the location of objects on the portal. Kopp Development offers FerrAlert Halo in two versions, Entry and Prescreen. Entry reduces the risk of ferromagnetic projectiles from entering the magnet, while Prescreen prescreens patients and personnel for the presence of ferromagnetic objects.

Since FerrAlert is passive and does not emit any radiofrequency (RF) or magnetic fields, it will not interfere with other devices or the imaging process, and is safe for patients with passive or active implants, according to Kopp Development.

Individuals in the study were plotted with the x-axis being rank of pulmonary gas exchange. The black dots show the pulmonary gas exchange ratio (red blood cell to tissue plasma ratio, RBC:mem) on the left y-axis and the blue dots are the cognition scores on the right y-axis. Gas exchange maps of three representative patients from a low, medium, and high pulmonary gas exchange. Image courtesy of RSNA.
