MRI Compatible ECG Electrodes

Description

PSI Offers MRI compatible ECG electrodes are disposable skin electrodes used to pick up the electrical signals from the heart during procedures like cardiac MRI, MRI-guided interventions, or continuous monitoring in an MRI suite. They are designed to reduce interaction with the MRI’s magnetic and RF fields, so they don’t distort the imaging and remain safe for both the patient and equipment.

These electrodes typically have a special adhesive gel that ensures good skin contact and a stable signal, and the materials used are specifically non-magnetic and radiolucent to avoid interference

Features

MRI-Safe / MRI-Conditional — Designed to work safely in a strong magnetic field (typically up to ~3 Tesla) without causing problems or artifacts in the MRI image.
Non-Magnetic Materials — Made from materials that do not contain ferromagnetic components, reducing risk and artifact formation.
Low-Noise and Clear ECG Signal — Optimized to give a stable, accurate ECG trace even inside the MRI suite.
Hypoallergenic Adhesive — Soft on skin and easy to apply/remove, suitable for adult and pediatric use.
Individual Packaging — Many are single-use and sterile, reducing risk of infection and ensuring reliable adhesion.
Various Sizes & Shapes — Some are small dot type, others larger pads, allowing flexibility for different lead placements.

Uses

Continuous ECG Monitoring During MRI Scans — Helps clinicians monitor a patient’s cardiac rhythm throughout the imaging process.
Cardiac MRI Gating — ECG signals are often used to synchronize MRI image acquisition with heartbeats, producing clearer cardiac images.
Pre- and Post-Procedure Monitoring in MRI Suite — Useful in hospitals when patients need ECG leads attached before entering the MRI room.
Diagnostic Electrophysiology — Provides important timing and rhythm information during MRI-guided cardiac interventions.
