Metrasens launches new MRI threat detection system

Advanced magnetic detection technology firm Metrasens has launched a new MRI safety system called Metrasens Vantage at the RSNA meeting.

Metrasens Vantage is a Zone IV entry control system and is intended to address the safety challenge of preventing ferromagnetic objects from entering MRI environments, the company noted. It uses magnetic sensing, personnel movement tracking, and door status monitoring data to deliver "context-aware" alerts, according to the firm.

"By correlating these inputs, the system reduces false alarms and eliminates the alert fatigue that undermines staff vigilance and response effectiveness," Metrasens said.
