Cables

Raise your cable-consciousness


We all know that frayed electric cords can be dangerous. The same is true of damaged surface coil and gating cables. But did you know that they don't even have to be damaged to cause serious problems?


Cable/Conductor Heating

RF can heat non-compatible surface coils/gating cables, damaged surface coils/gating cables, surface coils that are not properly plugged in, and improperly routed can result in patient heating.
